The Campaign for Women and Children
Transforming Lives. All in One Place.
Since St. Mary’s Center’s inception, the organization has
strategically expanded and adapted to meet the most
pressing needs of families in our community.
The time is now to do so again.
The Campaign for Women and Children offers a unique opportunity to expand a proven strategy for moving families beyond homelessness. By investing in the Center’s invaluable, 2.4-acre campus in the heart of Dorchester, together we are building a comprehensive ecosystem to end family homelessness.
Phase One
New construction of 71 Supportive Housing units for families,
more than doubling the number of families served.
- 2-and 3-bedroom affordable apartment units designed specifically for families who have previously experienced homelessness
- Comprehensive support services offered in the state-of-the art Liberty Community Resource Center, generously funded by Liberty Mutual Insurance, supporting families in advancing economic mobility establishing long-term stability
- Expanding the Center’s proven model of Supportive Housing for young families, moving families beyond homelessness
Phase Two
Gut renovation of current residential and program spaces, including a
state-of-the-art Supportive Services Center and the transformation of
the outdoor campus, creating accessible, safe and engaging green spaces for mothers and children.
- Transforming the Center’s rapidly deteriorating 100+ year old campus, creating spaces of dignity and respect for families to heal and grow
- Building a state-of-the art Supportive Services Center offering critical services aligned with the Center’s four pillars of support-life skills, behavioral health and family medicine, education and employment, and permanent housing
- Creating a vibrant, family-oriented campus offering accessible, safe and engaging outdoor spaces for children and adults of all ages
