Dear SCBB Community,
Thank you for being part of something big. After 9 years of helping families in and around Boston, it’s time for us to say goodbye.
tinyurl.com/scbbthankyou
You’ve made an INCREDIBLE difference.
- Over $1.3 million was raised.
- 1,100 families were helped.
- Hundreds of YOU made it possible.
The good work continues.
Please look toward our partner organizations, who continue to do good across Massachusetts and beyond. A handy list can be found here: tinyurl.com/scbbthankyou
Last week we caught up with Jordan Ross, founder of @PetsEmpowerOrg aiming to find our furry friends temporary homes while families get back on their feet after facing a serious financial crisis. Check them out on Twitter and say hello!

"People's perception of homelessness is often just people who are literally on the streets. But it's something much wider than that." nitter.gq/crisis_uk/status/10061…
'A hostel isn't your home. Someone else's sofa isn't your home. No one should have to go through that indignity.'
Rachelle is one of the hundreds of people with experience of homelessness who helped us to write our plan to #EndHomelessness

Also a special shout out to @boathouseinc and @RedSox for their hands-on approach and partnership throughout this project! I am grateful to my ELP team, the entire @UMB_Leadership staff, and the Trotter Institute for the opportunity! nitter.gq/UMB_Leadership/status/…

In NYC, at least 30% of families in NYC shelters are #homeless due to #domesticviolence. We need more housing resources directed to individuals & their children who are fleeing domestic violence. nitter.gq/DCCADV/status/99385175…
The link between domestic violence & homelessness is not unique to the District. In fact, domestic violence is a leading cause of homelessness nationally. 28% of cities cited domestic violence as the number one cause of family homelessness. #SurvivingDC

Investigative reporter Molly Parker (@mollyparkerSI) is looking into the public housing crisis in rural America. Reach out to her if you live in public housing in a small town or midsize city and have a story to tell.
Help spread the word.
