The Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless is a nonprofit organization based in Lynn, Massachusetts, founded in 1981. It focuses on addressing homelessness through a three-pronged approach: providing short-term bridges to help people secure housing or avoid homelessness, ensuring access to adequate shelter when homelessness is unavoidable, and advocating for long-term solutions that expand income and housing resources. By combining direct assistance with policy advocacy, the coalition aims to create opportunities for individuals and families to pursue and maintain safe, affordable housing. Its work targets people experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless, with services and policy efforts designed to address both immediate housing needs and structural factors contributing to the housing crisis in Massachusetts. The organization operates within the nonprofit sector and engages a regional audience rooted in Massachusetts communities, including its headquarters in the Lynn area. The coalition publishes and maintains active outreach channels and social media to inform and involve stakeholders in its mission.
