It is our goal at Friends of the Homeless to house chronically homeless, homeless, and low income individuals either by providing permanent supportive housing in our properties, on our Worthington Street campus, or in the community at large. FOH owns and operates 110 single-room units available through waitlists for each building for qualified applicants.
Worthington House, 769 Worthington Street, located on the FOH campus is permanent housing, with 60 furnished single room occupancy units in a dormitory style setting with common kitchens, lounges, restrooms, and elevator. Women and men live on separate floors. These are Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP) subsidized units. To qualify you must be homeless or chronically homeless at the time of application and acceptance. A priority is given to chronically homeless applicants. The wait list and applications are managed on campus. This property is handicap accessible. Free laundry on site.
