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 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.
