Lack of affordable housing, federal and state budget cuts in homeless prevention funds, record high fuel prices and Boston's ranking as the most expensive U.S. city in which to live have left many people without a roof over their heads. Half of Boston's homeless work full-time yet cannot afford housing.
ABCD Housing Services staff are experts in all aspects of housing search and counseling, with specific expertise in immigration law. ABCD staff work at homeless shelters and community sites assisting low and moderate-income homeless and at-risk families and individuals, including the elderly, disabled and victims of domestic violence to prevent them from falling into homelessness or help them move into a home they can afford.
ABCD also serves walk-in customers and responds to referrals of individuals and families who are doubled up with other families, facing eviction, behind in rent or utilities, or living in substandard housing. Staff members
also hold weekly workshops on housing issues that are
to all members of the community.
