- Job DescriptionThe 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.
- HSB aims to make homelessness in Boston rare, brief, and one time.
- After a client is housed outside the shelter, HSB staff provides in-home supports to help individuals avoid someone a return to homelessness.
- The HSB uses a Housing First and racial justice framework, which is built on the foundation that housing is a social determinant of health, a basic need that everyone deserves, and does not require sobriety.
- HSB fosters evidence-based approaches such as trauma-informed care, harm reduction, and motivational interviewing in the delivery of services, and strives to deliver services that are accessible to all clients.
