GRANTS FOR INDIVIDUALS
Our organization is unique in that we are able to use our discretion to help women who are in desperate financial need. We are one of the few organizations that can pay for these types of expenses. We have been able to assist in paying for medical needs not covered by insurance, such as hearing aids, prescriptions, dental and medical bills and wheelchairs. Grants are also given for a host of needs, including rent assistance, utility bills & heating oil.
Catholic Charities is tasked with serving those who wonder how they will be able to meet their most basic needs. We embrace each family with a plan to achieve self-sufficiency, giving back some of the choices that they lost along the way.
With 10 sites throughout Greater Boston, we are able to provide a wide range of support, including food pantries, rent and mortgage assistance, utility assistance, baby supplies, clothing and other necessities, and seasonal and holiday assistance for families who cannot afford a warm meal at Thanksgiving. Some gifts are given to current clients for their children at Christmas.
Howard Benevolent Society, a non-profit private charity, supports families and the elderly in the Boston community by sustaining financial resources to respond and intervene when people are in temporary crisis. Howard Benevolent Society believes that every individual has a need for stable and adequate shelter, therefore homelessness prevention is a priority.
We are social workers at Harvard Law School in the legal clinics. We have created these lists to assist our students in their advocacy with their clients.
