Thanks to our specially trained staff, whose efforts are supported and amplified by hundreds of committed volunteers and donors, Horizons provides hope and opportunity to the families we serve.
More than 90 shelter-based Playspaces are designed to reflect the needs of children experiencing trauma. The program embodies our belief that every child has the right to joyful play experiences.
We provide support, encouragement, a sounding board, and strategies that help parents negotiate the system, so that they reclaim their independence – and leave the shelter system.
We improve the lives of homeless families by working to reduce the complexity of the Commonwealth’s support systems, and making it easier for families to access critically needed services.
