Friends of the Homeless, Inc. operates the largest emergency shelter for adult individuals in Western Massachusetts providing services aimed at ending homelessness. We are a private, non-profit 501(C)3 organization established over twenty-five years ago to serve Greater Springfield. In addition to providing emergency shelter for adult men and women, we also own and operate a resource center and manage 110 low income housing units on our Worthington Street campus in Springfield. We strive to bring dignity to people’s lives during their difficult journey from homelessness to stability and independence. Founded in 1988, Friends of the Homeless, Inc. owns and operates properties at 755, 769 and 501-503 Worthington Street. FOH provides emergency overnight and day shelter, housing and support services for hundreds of men and women each year. We also advocate for public and private resources to end local and regional homelessness.
