Crossroads is a transitional shelter for homeless families.
Our purpose is to provide a program of counseling, advocacy, education, and training to help families live independently and with dignity. Crossroads Family Shelter was established in 1985 by the Most Holy Redeemer Parish in East Boston. Since its inception Crossroads has been a home to more than 450 families with over 1200 children. The shelter houses 11 families with 25-30 children at any given time. It also operated a food pantry and has established an emergency shelter program to aid those left homeless by fire and disaster.
