Our Properties
Caritas Is Home
Caritas takes great pride in providing affordable, sustainable housing to more than 1,000 residents annually in 17 communities in and around the Boston area. While developing, building, managing and maintaining our current portfolio of 30 residences, we are putting people in homes and providing them the chance to rebuild their lives. With the growing disparity between rich and poor in the city of Boston, the need for housing for our most vulnerable low- and extremely low-income neighbors continues to grow. For more than 36 years, we have taken great pride in acquiring, renovating, maintaining and managing our properties. We remain committed to battling homelessness. We believe that everyone deserves a place to call home.
Thank you for allowing more than 1,000 people to escape homelessness and for us to revitalize buildings and neighborhoods.
Caritas’ model works because our properties are:
Secure. Caritas is committed to the long-term ownership of its properties. A professional property management staff oversees the portfolio. Each property has a live-in site manager who is responsible for daily operations and who knows each resident and keeps the common areas clean and the building in good condition.
Comfortable. Rent includes heat, hot water and electricity. Private, locked, rooms are furnished with beds, bureaus, tables, chairs and lamps. Arrangements can be made for residents to use their own furniture. Rooms are wired for cable, telephone and Internet. All houses have safe, shared kitchens and baths and many have common living rooms.
Affordable. With the help of charitable contributions, Caritas makes every effort to be affordable for individuals working fulltime on minimum wage. For those below that income level, there is a waiting list for a limited number of units with a public subsidy.
Convenient. All of our houses are within a 10-minute walk to public transportation; many are even closer.
Dependable. We have never sold a property.
