The Brain Plasticity & Neuroimaging Lab at Boston University will be visiting our residents at Anna Bissonnette House this summer to raise awareness around Alzheimer's disease and healthy brain aging. We're grateful to @bpnlab for connecting with our community!
Shelters offer a bed for the night. Permanent supportive housing offers a lease with your name on it.
Our friends at Goddard House were hard at work last week showcasing artwork from our very own Hearth residents! Their "The Places We Carry" series celebrated memories, imagination, and meaning for older adults across our community. Thank you for all you do! @GoddardHouse165
In her July CEO Corner, Hearth President and CEO Rhonda Pieroni reflects on what independence really means for older adults who have experienced homelessness. It is a locked door, a kitchen of one's own, and a schedule no one else controls.
Independence isn't reclaimed alone. Join the Kindling Club, our monthly giving community, and help keep doors opening for older adults all year. hearth-home.org/dona...
Welcome to the Hearth Board of Directors, Steven Giovangelo! Steven brings more than a decade of experience financing affordable housing across the country, most recently as Senior Director of Acquisitions at Berkadia.
Hearth President and CEO Rhonda Pieroni recently joined the PR Bunker Podcast to talk about what it takes to help an older adult move from facing homelessness into a home of their own. "It can be frightening to put that key in the door and then close that door behind you," she says.
A huge Thank You to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts and the BlueCrew volunteers for sponsoring a classic summer cookout for residents at Anna Bissonnette House! We had a blast grilling burgers, playing patio games, and creating lasting community connections.
Thank you to our friends at Shaw's in East Boston for supporting Hearth through their Give Back Where It Counts community bag program! Every bag purchased at 246 Border St. helps fund Hearth's Mission to end older adult homelessness.
Independence looks like cooking your own dinner again. Like neighbors who know your name. Like aging on your own terms, in a home that's yours. That's what a stable home makes possible for the older adults Hearth serves. We talk about three things a home gives back. Stability. Dignity. Community.
Older adults are one of the fastest-growing groups facing housing instability in Greater Boston. The market won't fix this alone. Ending it takes all of us in the same room.
Small purchases can add up to real change. Through the end of July, every $3.00 Give Back Where It Counts Reusable Bag purchased at Shaw's on 246 Border Street in East Boston sends $1 directly to Hearth's mission to end older adult homelessness.
It's grill season here at Hearth, and we're seeking volunteers to handle the heat! @PMDcharity is hosting a summer BBQ at Hearth's Anna Bissonnette House, and we need volunteers to help serve up burgers, hot dogs, and all the fixings. Sign up by 8/8 here! pmd.org/s/081526.htm
Stability. Dignity. Community. That's what a stable home gives back to an older adult who lost it. That's independence, up close.
Huge thank you to Councilor Julia Mejia for stopping by and spending time with the residents at Four Corners. It was a lovely afternoon of shared stories envisioning a future where all elders have a stable place to call home.
With seven locations around Greater Boston, Hearth is dedicated to ending elder homelessness through Permanent Supportive Housing, Outreach, and Prevention.
Three dollars. That's the cost of a Give Back bag at Shaw's this month, and $1 of it goes directly to Hearth.
Join us in celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the American Independence. Boston's legacy of activism is extended by Hearth's mission to end elder homelessness.
Hearth is this month's featured nonprofit through Shaw's Give Back Where it Counts bag program. Every $3 reusable bag sold at Shaw's sends $1 straight to Hearth's housing, outreach, and prevention work.
In her latest CEO Corner, Hearth President and CEO Rhonda Pieroni writes about the three transitions central to Hearth's work: from instability to stability, from invisibility to dignity, and from isolation to community. None of these happen in a single moment.
Here comes the sun! We're gearing up to beat the heat at Hearth with summertime essentials for our residents, and we need your help. Your contribution of Summertime Essential Kits helps our residents to prepare and stay cool in extreme summer temperatures.
The rest of this week is going to be extremely hot, with temperatures reaching up to 100 in the Boston area. For someone without air conditioning or shelter, that kind of heat turns dangerous fast. Now imagine facing it with no apartment at all: no door to close, no cool room to retreat to.
Monthly giving funds the seventeenth check-in. The quiet Tuesday morning. The years-long process of belonging. Join the Kindling Club this month. hearth-home.org/dona... #Hearth #KindlingClub
Hearth at Four Corners is seeking a volunteer to lead weekly Arts & Crafts activities with residents. This is a great opportunity to get involved and make a difference in the lives of older adults in our community through sharing the joy and freedom of artistic expression.
The Tartan Army reminded us how fast a community can rally when people choose to show up. Older adult homelessness is solvable, and it begins with housing.
The Tartan Army showed Boston what showing up looks like: joy, generosity, community. Let’s bring that same spirit to ending older adult homelessness. Everyone who built this city deserves a safe place to call home. #Hearth #EndHomelessness #TartanArmy #Boston
Wednesday was a gorgeous sunny morning in the South End—the perfect weather to meet our community and share more about Hearth’s mission to end elder homelessness!

Our residents at Four Corners were keen to learn about banking basics, safety, and strategy with @WebsterBank last Friday! They left the session feeling confident and ready to level up their financial management practices.
