Wishing You and Your Family a Happy, Healthy New Year!
As we close out 2022 and move into 2023, I want to take a moment to reflect on the past year.
We have continued to face the challenges of an extremely high-cost housing market, one of the most expensive in the country. Like everyone else, we are also dealing with rising costs of food, heating fuel and gas.
The good news is that we are making headway toward ending homelessness – 251 new units of housing, 140 in Jamaica Plain and 111 in Back Bay, are under construction and scheduled to open next year. Our volunteers have returned, creating a welcome sense of community for our guests and tenants.
We have continued to move people off the street, out of shelter and into the stability and safety of a home. We know this not only benefits these individuals, but the entire community.
Thank you for your interest and support. Wishing you and your family a happy, healthy new year!
