Holiday Drive
Support our Holiday Drive 2020!
2020 has been a challenging year for everyone, especially the homeless young adults we work with. This holiday season, we are seeking special donations as well as gift cards to give our clients the freedom and flexibility to choose what they want and need most.
Coming to Lynn in 2023: Catalyst Housing!
We are in the developmental stages of our largest undertaking yet, Catalyst Housing, which will expand the housing options for homeless and extremely low income young adults north of Boston. Catalyst will offer 23 studio apartments for extremely low-income 18-24 year olds, and a 24th unit will house a live-in Resident Manager. Apartments will be on the 3rd and 4th floor of our historic 57 Munroe Street building. In addition to providing secure and sustainable affordable housing, our ultimate goal is to provide on site opportunities where residents can achieve their full potential by using the many wrap-around services we offer.
Exciting update! On Tuesday, July 19th, 2022, Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito announced Catalyst Housing as one of 11 affordable housing projects to receive funding in the form of direct subsidies, tax credits, and housing vouchers!
