Family Support

We’ve made family support (which comprises a range of human services) a top priority. Poverty, homelessness, developmental disability, mental illness, domestic violence, unemployment — these issues are not limited to big cities and faraway places.

They exist in our own neighborhoods, in MetroWest Boston. Despite the apparent affluence of many of our towns, families are in need here. There were 30,000 people living at the poverty threshold in MetroWest in 2000, and the number is growing. This figure is greater than the entire population for nearly every one of the 33 towns in our service area.

If you are a nonprofit that offers human services, we encourage you to review our grant guidelines. Between 2002 and 2007, nearly 44 percent of our grants went to family support. Past grantees include the following:
