About Brookview House in Dorchester, MA
At Brookview House, we believe in providing safe, affordable housing and support services for women, children, and youth who are experiencing homelessness. We understand that every family is different and that each family member has their own needs and wants. We strive to confront the root causes of homelessness and empower families to become economically stable and secure. Our approach to addressing homelessness is to focus on racial equity, leadership development, and creating meaningful partnerships and policy initiatives. We are working to not only help those already experiencing homelessness, but to help those who are at risk of becoming homeless stay employed and housed. We are committed to creating a better future for families and stabilizing communities.
