Pine Street Inn
Founded in 1969, Pine Street Inn provides a comprehensive range of services to nearly 2,000 homeless men and women each day. We are the largest homeless services provider in New England, and could not do this important work without the support of our donors and local community.
Since that time we have been providing a comprehensive range of programs and services, including housing, emergency services, and workforce development. Our ultimate goal is to end homelessness by making permanent housing a reality for all.

Meet Caz, Substance Use Disorder Clinician
"I facilitate group therapy, which is the best part of my day. I love getting to collaborate with and witness firsthand the determination, wisdom, heart, and humor of our clients. Unfortunately, there remains a great deal of stigma surrounding those who live with substance use disorder. I wish more people knew how hard those dealing with addiction work every day to beat their disease." Read more.
