Founded in 1969, Pine Street Inn provides a comprehensive range of services to over 2,000 individuals each day. We are the largest homeless services provider in New England, and could not do our work without the support of our community of friends and supporters.
Pine Street’s programs include permanent housing, emergency shelter, street outreach and workforce development. Our goal is to end homelessness by making the safety and stability of permanent housing a reality for all.
