Mission: Horizons for Homeless Children was founded in 1988 as an independent organization dedicated exclusively to serving young homeless children and their families. Horizons for Homeless Children touches the lives of more than 2,000 young homeless children each week in Massachusetts through Playspaces (trauma-informed educational and recreational spaces) in shelters and 225 children each day through its high-quality early education program, Boston's only comprehensive, trauma-informed full-time early education and care center specifically for homeless children. Through our two-generational model, our Family Partnerships Program works with the parents of the children enrolled in the early education program from a strengths-based approach, helping them to build on their skills and establish and accomplish goals for success.  (Less)

Horizons for Homeless Children is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 1993, and donations are tax-deductible.
