Our Vision

Every family has a home.

Since 1988, we’ve been driven by the vision that everyone deserves a home. Founded to meet the needs of Greater Boston’s Black community, we believe that having a home is fundamental to everyone’s dignity, health, wellness, and security. As one of Greater Boston’s largest providers of emergency shelter for families experiencing homelessness, we work with more than 300 families each year across all of our programs.

FY25 Annual Report

Hildebrand’s value lies in its ability to build strong relationships with families.

We are intentional about building a caring and supportive community of staff who go the extra mile for our families time and time again. We get to know our clients as individuals, recognizing their unique strengths, and offering compassion and support on their journey towards stability and permanent homes.
