Social Worker (Homeless Services Bureau)
Boston, MA jobs
The Boston Public Health Commission's Homeless Services Bureau (HSB) provides emergency shelter, job training, behavioral health support, and housing services to unhoused individuals in Boston. We serve close to 5,000 individuals every year, and we are one of the largest providers of emergency shelter in New England. We aim to make homelessness in Boston rare, brief, and one time. We do that by problem-solving with new guests at the front door to try to prevent anyone from entering homelessness to begin with. For individuals who do become homeless and use our shelters, we help them quickly move from homelessness to housing by finding a safe place to call home. Once housed, we provide in-home supports to ensure someone does not return to homelessness again. We use a Housing First and racial justice framework, which is built on the foundation that housing is a social determinant of health and a basic need that everyone deserves and does not require sobriety. We believe that everyone, with the right support, can succeed in housing. We foster evidence-based approaches such as trauma-informed care, harm reduction, and motivational interviewing in the delivery of our services, and we ensure services are low-threshold and accessible to our guests.
