Programs

  • Emergency Shelter and Supportive Services

    Hildebrand’s sheltering program is designed to provide respite, support, and resources for families experiencing homelessness. As one of the largest family shelter providers in Massachusetts, Hildebrand currently operates 157 units of emergency shelter in Cambridge and Boston, consisting of congregate and co-shelter living programs as well as scattered-site apartments. In addition to shelter, Hildebrand offers case management, workshops and trainings, supplemental resources, seasonal support, and more. Families remain with Hildebrand until they are placed into permanent housing, usually within the Boston area (or even within Hildebrand-owned properties). They are supported by Hildebrand’s Stabilization Services team after placement into housing. Hildebrand utilizes a comprehensive approach to case management, meeting clients where they are and partnering with families to assess their goals and reduce barriers to self-sufficiency.

  • Stabilization Services

    Hildebrand’s Stabilization Services Program is designed to prevent the recurrence of homelessness; its primary focus is to help families remain stably housed for two years after transitioning from shelter to permanent housing. The families continue to receive case management services and to work on challenges identified during their shelter stay that might put tenancy or family wellness at risk such as employment savings/financial stability, and connections to community providers.

  • Permanent Housing

    Since its founding in 1988, Hildebrand has been at the forefront of the movement to end family homelessness by helping families achieve stability and self-sufficiency so they can leave shelter and move into their permanent homes. Hildebrand’s vision is that every family has a home and the organization’s long-standing assertion is that the sooner families obtain stable housing the better they are positioned to increase their economic mobility. The organization’s Case Managers and Housing Specialists work with each family to find and apply for permanent housing and obtain the resources they need to move and settle into their new homes. Once they are settled in, the families work with Hildebrand’s Stabilization Services team to maintain their housing stability. Hildebrand also owns and operates 22 units of permanent housing across Cambridge and Boston.
