Since 1983 the Commission's Homeless Services Bureau has provided emergency shelter, workforce development, and housing services to individuals experiencing a crisis of homelessness with the goal of making homelessness in Boston rare, brief, and one time. We are one of the largest shelter providers in New England, running two emergency shelters, which operate 24 hours a day 365 days a year, and providing more than 5,000 homeless individuals annually with food, beds, lockers, emergency clothing, health care, case management, and housing services. We use a housing first framework and principles of trauma informed care, restorative justice, and health equity to people move from homelessness to housing as quickly as possible.

Ambulatory Healthcare Services
We are one of the nation's first health departments and trace our roots back to 1799, when Paul Revere was named Boston's first health officer. Back then, the board of health was formed to fight a potential outbreak of cholera. Taking innovative strides to save lives, health officials posted signs on lampposts, held meetings and led an early-day public information campaign to reduce deaths due to cholera, a highly preventable disease. Two hundred years later, that tradition of prevention continues through the Boston Public Health Commission. While we are the country's oldest health department,... we pride ourselves on having some of the most innovative services for our residents. Described as "the most activist arm of city government," by the Boston Globe, the Commission has a vigorous commitment to the health of Boston.
