Everything that we do at Back Bay Mission stems from our mission: strengthening neighborhoods, seeking justice, transforming lives.We strengthen neighborhoods through nine initiatives: the Micah Center (Day Center for the Homeless), Home at Last, (Permanent Supportive Housing), Rental Assistance, Emergency Assistance (Includes Food Choice Food Pantry) Community Health Worker Project, Bridges Out of Poverty education, Housing Recovery and Home Port (Housing for Veterans) Our programs are seeking justice by providing a way forward for those caught in generational poverty, those experiencing the devastation of life traumas and those who are victims of poor life choices. These programs assist the people we serve become contributing citizens in their communities, An annual average of 800 volunteers take what they learn at Back Bay Mission home with them where they have the opportunity to strengthen their own neighborhoods efforts in justice seeking. Justice seeking means supporting the people we serve in becoming more involved in their communities, educating people about the realities of poverty, and advocating on behalf of marginalized people..All of our programs transform lives. Whether we're helping a homeowner keep their home, mentoring a single mother as she plans her path out of poverty, or working with an intern who is thinking about a career in social work, we're making the lives of the people we serve better. Our work in transforming leads BBM to be catalyst in transforming individual lives that can transform our communities and the country.
