Description
Father Bill's & Mainspring offers an array of services to people who are homeless living in Southern Massachusetts, including two 24-hour emergency shelters (located in Quincy and Brockton), two family shelters, and over 360 units of supportive housing through their Housing First program.
Father Bill's & Mainspring believes in the Housing First approach to ending homelessness, as it is based on the belief that when an individual moves into a home of their own, they can begin to address the issue that initially led to the loss of housing.
Once in a home, formerly homeless men and women receive supportive services such as case management and counseling to help them stabilize and remain in housing.
