About FamilyAid
FamilyAid is Greater Boston’s leading provider of solutions to family homelessness. Our mission is to empower parents and caregivers facing homelessness to secure and sustain housing and build strong foundations for their children’s futures.
Our program model is focused on preventing homelessness whenever possible; reducing harm if homelessness can’t be avoided by getting families stably housed as quickly as possible and mitigating trauma, especially for children; and providing wraparound supports, for both children and parents, that foster long-term stability. Through this approach, we have achieved a 64% housing placement rate and a 99% retention rate, far outperforming the national averages. Most importantly, our parents report that their children are healthier and happier.
Our supportive, collaborative, and diverse workplace of more than 120 professionals is ideal for a skilled, result-oriented executive driven to help children and families thrive.
