HomeStart is a Greater Boston nonprofit that seeks to end homelessness. HomeStart has found permanent homes and provided stabilization services for more than 13,000 people living on the street and in shelters and prevented evictions and homelessness for more than 4,000 households in poverty, 97% of whom maintain stability long-term. HomeStart recently monetized its eviction prevention program, thereby developing a socially disruptive, economically sustainable and scalable program that will allow them to eliminate homelessness due to nonpayment eviction in Massachusetts for both families with subsidies and the working poor. Their ultimate goal is to create a model for national replication.
