Our Mission: Preventing homelessness. Improving lives. One room at a time.
At Caritas Communities, we prevent homelessness by providing very low-income individuals with permanent housing, support, a sense of community, and expanded opportunities. Since 1985, Caritas has helped fill the need for safe, secure housing in Greater Boston.
