Housing Families Inc. was founded in 1986 by community members concerned about the growing crisis of homelessness among families in the cities of Everett, Malden, and Medford. Since then Housing Families Inc. has grown into one of the largest providers of family shelter in Massachusetts. Over 2,500 families have been helped since we first opened our doors. The agency’s central mission is to help families build the skills and understanding they need to make a successful transition into their own home, and to prevent any recurrence of homelessness.
