In addition, Pine Street Inn operates a 24 hour street-based neighborhood outreach van. The outreach van provides mobile outreach and referral services in addition to critical material supports such as food and clothing to the unsheltered and intermittently sheltered homeless. Residents will receive a variety of supportive services to ensure long term residential stability. Services include individualized case management, activity coordination, and transportation assistance. The house is one of the Inn's 15 permanent, affordable residences, providing housing for 247 formerly homeless men and women throughout the Boston area.
Residents have private bedrooms with a shared kitchen and common living areas.
This congregate living arrangement provides a sense of community and support needed to ensure that the men and women who have worked so hard to break the downward spiral of homelessness do not return to the streets. The Department of Mental Health is providing the service commitment. Copyright 2000 City of Boston. All rights reserved.
