Housing Families Inc. (formerly Tri-City Family Housing) provides emergency shelter and permanent housing to families in Malden, Medford, Everett, Revere and Chelsea. We offer support, counseling and advocacy for the families in our program. We have a children's program with play groups, therapeutic arts, one-on-one counseling and a tutoring program. Many of the groups are late afternoon/early evening.

Description:
We provide shelter for 54 families, case management, housing search, support groups and a children's program. The Children's Program consists of tutoring and therapeutic children's groups. We seek volunteers to help for an hour or two a week with the tutoring program. We also need volunteers to watch pre-school children in the mornings in a play group.

History:
Housing Families has provided shelter to homeless families since 1986. Housing Families has grown greatly over the years and currently serves 54 homeless families and maintains permanent, affordable housing as well.
