Resources to move from crisis to hope

We’re here to provide the information, assistance and skills you need to maintain your household or access resources to help find more affordable housing. Our services include:

• Housing search
• Landlord-tenant mediation
• Budget management
• Eviction prevention
• Tenant Rights
• Foreclosure Prevention

We provide one-on-one counseling to delve into the details of affordable housing, ranging from exploring the rights of tenants and landlords to understanding the barriers that can automatically disqualify you from subsidized or market rate housing. We’re here to help coordinate available services and your housing needs so you can concentrate on your family, your work or educational goals.  

If you’re in Boston, Everett, Malden, or Medford, ABCD can also assist with trying to enter emergency shelter.
