住房

当有 Y 时，就有办法为有需要的人提供庇护所。自 1851 年成立以来，大波士顿基督教青年会一直为波士顿最弱势的居民提供住房。

过渡中的家庭（FIT）
 
One of our most effective housing programs is the Families in Transitions (FIT) emergency shelter. The Huntington Avenue YMCA’s Families in Transition program is an emergency housing shelter for homeless families which is funded by the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC). FIT provides a wide range of services including advocacy, life skills training, employment support, health and wellness opportunities, childcare provisions, case management curriculum, and housing search assistance to help families secure and sustain permanent housing and stabilization. FIT provides housing to 22 families with support services to transition them to permanent housing, offering amenities such as private, secured units with private baths, communal kitchens and program laundry facilities. 

Over the last 10 years, FIT has placed 272 families into permanent housing, 95% of whom remain permanently housed, compared to a statewide average of 65%.

FIT works passionately to secure adequate, affordable housing and to help families develop the skills and abilities they need to maintain their homes once settled into permanent housing.

神秘地点分散站点
 
Our Mystic Place scattered site program offers 12 homeless families the privacy and dignity that comes with being housed in spacious, fully furnished 2BR apartments in Medford, MA. While occupying traditional apartments, however, these families work with case managers and housing search workers to secure their own permanent housing opportunities.

Like our Families in Transition program, Mystic Place is funded by the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC). In addition, families are also provided a wide range of services including advocacy, life skills trainings, employment support, health and wellness opportunities, childcare provisions, case management curriculum, and housing search assistance to helpfamilies secure and sustain permanent housing and stabilization.
