Hearth’s mission is to end elder homelessness. Our expertise is increasingly important as the problem grows. Massachusetts ranks second in the nation as the most economically insecure state for elders with the largest gap in the U.S. between income needed and median income. Hearth serves a diverse community of men and women in the Boston area who are at least 50 years old and homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless. The elderly homeless is an underserved and growing population for whom the impacts of aging compound the challenges of homelessness, and require solutions tailored to address geriatric health and behavioral health conditions. Hearth’s program of services addresses the needs of this population so that they can live with relative independence in community settings, as they continue to age.
Hearth began its work in 1991 when the increasing numbers of homeless elders in Boston prompted seven women with extensive professional experience in housing, social services, and health care to form the Committee to End Elder Homelessness. Now known as Hearth, our organization:
Hearth’s primary programs are service-enriched, affordable housing for low income and formerly homeless elders, and outreach and housing search assistance for homeless and at-risk older adults. Hearth currently owns or operates 188 units of permanent, supportive housing in seven locations within Greater Boston. Hearth’s Outreach Program provides housing search and stabilization services to homeless older adults and homelessness prevention services to those experiencing housing instability.
Since inception, Hearth has made over 2200 placements of homeless elders into housing; over 2000 of these placements were made by the Outreach Program. Hearth has received 17 different local and national awards recognizing its community leadership, high-quality innovative programs, fiscal responsibility, and achievements in increasing the supply of affordable housing for vulnerable populations. In 2009, Hearth’s Outreach Program was recognized as a Social Innovator by the Root Cause/Social Innovation Forum of Cambridge. In 2013 Hearth was given the Excellence in Not-for-Profit Leadership Award from LeadingAge in recognition of Hearth's exemplary leadership and dedication to excellence and innovation in care and services for the aging. In 2016, Hearth received a Community Hero award from Harvard Pilgrim Health Care.
Recent accomplishments include the opening of Hearth at Olmsted Green in Dorchester; working with the Massachusetts Interagency Council on Housing and Homelessness, in partnership with the Executive Office of Elder Affairs to create the 2014 “Blueprint for Ending Homelessness among Older Adults” with an urgent vision that all older adults in Massachusetts have a safe, stable, and affordable home; the expansion of our Outreach Program; and the creation of the Community Advisory Council made up of residents and clients. In 2014 updated Hearth’s Strategic Plan. Following is some of our progress in the context of three of Hearth’s four strategic goals:
Goal 1:To increase the supply of permanent, affordable, and supportive housing for homeless elders and elders at risk of homelessness. The creation of affordable service-enriched housing is a challenging one, but Hearth continues to make progress, and today has 188 units. The 2012 opening of 59 units at Hearth at Olmsted Green in Dorchester is the latest example of successful collaboration between public and private partners. Hearth continues to work on identifying and exploring opportunities to create more units of service-enriched affordable housing. Our newest development, Hearth at Four Corners at 16 Ronald Street in Dorchester is slated to open in 2019. This will increase Hearth's housing portfolio by 54 units.
Goal 2: To place more homeless older adults into permanent, affordable housing, and help prevent homelessness for older adults who are at-risk of homelessness. Hearth’s Outreach Team has a Director and 6 case managers, five who work with homeless clients, and one is focused on homelessness prevention. This team works with approximately 325 of Boston’s elders each year, helping them navigate the often challenging process of finding a safe and permanent place to call home. Because of the low rate of turnover in Hearth housing, the majority of Outreach clients are placed in non Hearth housing.
Goal 3: To achieve national, state and local recognition of elder homelessness as a distinct problem requiring specific policy responses and tailored service solutions. Hearth’s partnership with the Corporation for Supportive Housing, Shelter Partnership, and LeadingAge has led to three national convenings and heightened awareness across the country of this under recognized issue, resulting in strategic thinking and the development of recommendations that we expect will lead to the creation of service-enriched affordable housing that meet the needs of this population in a cost-effective way. At the State level, Hearth was involved in creating Massachusetts' first Blueprint for Ending Homelessness among Older Adults with the Interagency Council on Housing and Homelessness and the Executive Office of Elder Affairs.
As Hearth has grown to serve more elders, much of our government funding for services has been eliminated, reduced or remained level funded, resulting in a greater need from philanthropic sources to sustain our work as we pursue continued growth, and seek new government funding opportunities. Operating support, including support for capacity building and advocacy efforts, remains critical.
In 2009, the Outreach Program required 44% from philanthropy and today 60% of the program is reliant upon philanthropy. In Hearth housing many Hearth services, including nursing and social work, are provided to residents who for a variety of reasons are not enrolled in programs that support it. Addressing resident needs result in timely interventions that lead to housing stability, better health, and cost savings. In 2016, Hearth became a provider of the Pay for Success Program under a contract with the Mass Housing and Shelter Alliance. We have 60 slots in the program that are provind much needed revenue for our Outreach Program. The program's HUD funding was eliminated in February of 2016, so this new revenue source is critical to our ability to continue operating our award winning program.
Hearth prides itself on its well-maintained homes. However, one of the challenges Hearth faces is that rental subsidies have not kept pace with the expenses of maintaining our residences. Therefore Hearth must seek private funding for capital repairs and improvements.
Finally, resources are needed to support continued housing development. This includes funding for Hearth’s work with a consultant who provides advisory services in our efforts to create more affordable housing.
Dear Friends,
Too few of us know that homelessness among older adults is not only a serious problem, but that it is growing each year. Nor does it occur to most of us that elder homelessness involves a unique set of issues very different from those surrounding family homelessness or homelessness in younger individuals. The homeless elderly often suffer from mental health and substance use disorders, chronic medical conditions, or geriatric syndromes and are extremely high users of the health care system. Over the course of a year, 87% of homeless adults aged 50-69 in Boston had received ambulatory care; 70% received care in an emergency department; and 43% were hospitalized overnight. Much of this can be prevented with relatively simple interventions.
Hearth has created a model of service enriched housing coupled with outreach which brings elders into permanent housing successfully. Permanent, well managed housing for formerly homeless elders, combined with the right services for each resident, and supported by a collaboration of public, private and philanthropic partners, equals a humanitarian and economical end to elder homelessness.
While our work on the ground is here in Boston, Hearth’s mission is to end all elder homelessness. Hearth has been working to raise awareness across the country that homelessness among older adults and elders is a problem with a cost effective solution: supportive housing. The effort to shed light on this issue and share strategies that work has been welcomed and embraced by people and organizations who have been struggling as the numbers of homeless older adults continue to increase nationally.
Hearth found an important partner in The Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH), an organization with offices in eleven states that provides advocacy, expertise, leadership, and financial resources to make it easier to create and operate supportive housing. More recently, Los Angeles based Shelter Partnership, and national advocacy organization LeadingAge, joined Hearth and CSH to further this national dialogue about the growing problem of homelessness among older adults and elders, and the importance of permanent supportive housing as an effective strategy to address this issue.
Sincerely,
Mark D. Hinderlie
President & CEO
Dear Friends,
Hearth was formed in 1991 with a clear mission – to end elder homelessness – and we continue to pursue that goal with focus, commitment, energy and an unwavering conviction that our mission is achievable.
The past several years have been remarkably productive for Hearth and the culmination of much hard work over the years. A major accomplishment was the completion of Hearth at Olmsted Green in 2012, a 59 unit residence for homeless elders, and the result of many public and private partnerships. The project finished on time and on budget and was fully rented within months of opening, a testament to our dedicated team.
Over time, hundreds of elders have called Hearth residences home. Since inception, Hearth has placed more than 2400 elders who were homeless or at risk of homelessness in permanent housing. This includes more than 400 in our own supported housing and an additional 2000 through our Outreach Program, which finds permanent housing for seniors and links them with community based services for needed support.
Hearth’s challenges are several. We are undergoing rapid growth and expansion, which requires increasingly sophisticated systems to manage well. We receive support from public programs for our service-enriched housing, and maintaining this funding in difficult times requires continuous communication and negotiation with our dedicated public partners. We rely in large part on private support to carry out our work. It has been particularly critical for our Outreach Program, for our local and national advocacy for policies that prevent homelessness, for part of the cost of developing new residences, and for some supplemental services for residents for which there is little or inadequate reimbursement from public programs. Maintaining and growing private support for our expanding operations requires constant attention, public relations and fundraising.
Hearth’s achievements would not be possible without the consistent and generous support of individuals, corporations, foundations, and faith based organizations; the partnership of other non-profits; our public partners in the City of Boston and the Commonwealth; Hearth’s dedicated staff; the Board of Directors and Board of Visitors; and hundreds of volunteers. It is a great privilege to work with them. I am confident that, working together, we can indeed end elder homelessness. This is why I volunteer at Hearth.

Hearth currently owns or operates 188 units of service-enriched housing for formerly homeless and at-risk elders. The most recent addition of 59 units, Hearth at Olmsted Green in Dorchester, opened in 2012. Hearth at Four Corners in Dorchester is lated to open in 2018, adding 54 additional units to our housing portfolio. Hearth’s housing model starts with a safe home, but also provides a holistic approach to care with its on-site team that includes nurses, social workers, and personal care homemakers who work together to address residents’ physical, behavioral health and social needs. Results include coordination and efficiency between the health and behavioral health team, improved safety and hygiene, and proper management of chronic disease and geriatric conditions including nutrition and medication management. Proactive interventions help reduce avoidable emergency department (ED) visits, medical procedures, and hospital readmissions; shorten hospital, rehabilitation, and detoxification stays; and forestall the need for expensive long-term care. |

Program Success Monitored By | For all residents, upon entry Hearth conducts a comprehensive assessment of physical, emotional/mental, and behavioral health, and develops an individualized service plan in partnership with each resident. This is then kept up to date over the course of the year. Hearth’s contracts with MassHealth for Group Adult Foster Care and the Department of Mental Health Community Based Flexible Support Program come with specific reporting requirements including continual updating of records and progress towards goals. In addition, staff conduct an annual survey to determine the residents’ level of satisfaction with both the physical setting and the services Hearth offers. Finally, we conducted a more comprehensive research study in partnership with the Boston University School of Social Work published in November of 2009 on the impact of entry into permanent supportive housing by our formerly homeless residents. Hearth housing vacancy rate is measured monthly and annually. |
Examples of Program Success | B age 63 is a college grad with a degree in accounting. B moved to Hearth in 2007 from shelter where he had been for over a year. B suffers from hypertension, has suffered a stroke, has Hep C and past alcohol abuse. He has no “official” mental health diagnosis, but appears to have severe anxiety with obsessive compulsive tendencies which severely impact his functional capabilities. Our team has helped B accept assistance with personal care and with keeping his room clean and free of items which can be a significant fire/pest risk. With consultation with our geri-psych partner, B was started on medication to reduce his anxiety and OCD symptoms. Today he participates in an Adult Day Health Program 2x a week, has a trusting relationship with staff, and enjoys working in the garden. MA level Expressive Therapy interns have helped foster his interest in writing and art that has been in Hearth’s annual art show. Once unable to make eye contact, he now smiles a lot and seems very content. |
While our work on the ground is in Boston, Hearth's mission is to end all elder homelessness. Hearth has been working to raise awareness both locally and nationally that homelessness among this population is a problem with a cost effective solution: supportive housing. Hearth found important partners in the Corporation for Supportive Housing, Shelter Partnership of Los Angeles, and LeadingAge. Our 4 organizations have joined together to further dialogue and action around this growing problem and the importance of supportive housing as a cost effective model to address the issue. In response to growth of elder homelessness in MA, the Interagency Council on Housing and Homelessness, in partnership with the Executive Office of Elder Affairs, formally launched the Older Adult Steering Committee. Hearth has been an active participant on this committee that in 2014 created the “Blueprint for Ending Homelessness among Older Adults” with an urgent vision: all older adults in Massachusetts. |

Program Success Monitored By | · Successful execution and attendance at a second convening in June 2013 on Older Adult Homelessness (First convening was held in Alexandria, Virginia in October, 2011). · Dissemination of report with the goals and recommendations, as well as next steps for NLI, with goals for increasing the supply of affordable service-enriched elderly housing across the country · Continued work of Hearth CEO as co-chair of the Massachusetts Housing and Shelter Alliance Elder Working Group, and on the Advisory Council of the ICHH. This group is working to develop a Strategic Plan to End Elder Homelessness in Massachusetts.

Examples of Program Success | To build on work done to date beginning with the National Convening on Ending Elder Homelessness which was held on October 20, 2011 in Alexandria, Virginia. Policy makers, elected officials, advocates, housing providers, and service providers to older adults and elders, including health and mental health providers came together to develop concrete strategies and policy recommendations that will meet the unique needs of this population. Following the convening, Hearth and CSH gathered with Congressional Staffers at the US Capitol to discuss the issue and make recommendations calling for Congress and the Administration to improve programs and resources for older adults and elders who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness. |
The Outreach Program began in 1995 with a grant from HUD. The program is unique because case managers work with individuals who fall anywhere on the continuum of housing readiness. This includes elders who have no income, no support or health services in place, housing barriers such as poor credit histories and housing histories. Case managers develop creative solutions to housing barriers in order to obtain permanent housing. This requires collaboration with numerous systems and providers including legal aid, DMH, shelter staff, medical providers, and landlords. Stabilization services are provided so that when clients find housing, they can succeed.
In 2010, the program expanded, adding 2 new case managers, including 1 case manager who focuses on preventing vulnerable elders from becoming homeless. The program serves 325 elders annually, including 50 elders at risk of homelessness. In 2016, Hearth became a provider of the Pay for Success program. |

Program Short-Term Success | In 2012, Hearth’s Outreach Program served 274 homeless clients and 51 at-risk clients. 106 people were placed into permanent housing and another 14 were either stabilized in their existing housing or relocated to more secure housing. 35 of these clients were placed into Hearth housing and the others in other affordable housing opportunities. 308 clients had an active connection to a community care provider. 38 clients were Spanish speaking and served by one of Hearth’s 3 Spanish speaking case managers. The At-Risk Program added weekly walk-in hours at St. Francis House because of the high volume of referrals. The program was also awarded $39,000 in City of Boston Emergency Solutions Grant funds to use to help at-risk clients preserve their tenancy. In addition to the numbers served, the Homeless Program fielded over 400 referrals from the community, mainly emergency shelters. The At-Risk program fielded nearly 100 referrals. |
Program Long-Term Success | Recognizing the unique needs of elders, Hearth's Outreach goal is to connect Boston's homeless elders with permanent affordable housing and the services necessary to stay safely housed. Hearth’s Outreach Program is working to achieve the following goals in 2013:

Examples of Program Success | At age 79, L has been homeless and living on the streets for many years, most often in ATMs. He suffers from cardiac problems and mental health issues. L is disorganized in his thinking processes and easily frustrated, making it difficult for him to follow the many steps involved in getting subsidized housing. After gradually building a relationship with his Outreach case manager, L finally secured an apartment. It was a difficult transition for him, as he missed his community on the street. He was also unaccustomed to being alone in an apartment with little stimulation for long periods of time. L chose to use his Fresh Start money on a television set, something he would never have been able to purchase without the fund. The TV provides a distraction for him and mitigates his obsessive thoughts. L is a great example of someone who benefits from Hearth’s holistic model of providing housing along with programs such as Fresh Start that ensure the client properly adapts to housed living. |

The Impact tab is a section on the Giving Common added in October 2013; as such the majority of nonprofits have not yet had the chance to complete this voluntary section. The purpose of the Impact section is to ask five deceptively simple questions that require reflection and promote communication about what really matters – results. The goal is to encourage strategic thinking about how a nonprofit will achieve its goals. The following Impact questions are being completed by nonprofits slowly, thoughtfully and at the right time for their respective organizations to ensure the most accurate information possible.
