Notes:

The Somerville Homeless Coalition was founded in
1985 when community leaders, neighbors, church
leaders, and city officials came together to
address the issue of homelessness.

The result was the opening of Somerville’s
first and only shelter for homeless adults and the
formation of the Somerville Homeless Coalition, Inc.

Today we operate two shelters, a food pantry, case
management program and several housing programs.
Come learn more about the programs and services we
offer and new initiatives we are taking to address the
issues of homelessness.

Our target population is the homeless and the poor of
Somerville and the surrounding towns that do not offer
the services we provide. Last year we served over 300
in our case management and housing programs and
over 1,500 in our food pantries with Project SOUP.

The typical homeless family we see is a mother with
two children. Many of these families receive welfare
benefits, although some are working parents whose
income is still so low they are in poverty.

The Somerville area's homeless population is quite
diverse, and our range of shelters and services
responds to this diverse constituency. We serve
elders, single working adults, disabled individuals,
and many families with children from newborns to
teenagers.
