Providing Shelter, Stability, and a Path Forward
In response to Massachusetts reaching its shelter capacity and the increasing needs in our community, Bethel has expanded its sanctuary network efforts initiated in 2016. We've provided safe housing and support to individuals facing deportation threats, including a Salvadorean man and a mother fleeing domestic violence with her two children. Recognizing the underutilization of our former rectory, we transformed it into a home where we currently house 25 individuals—offering more than just shelter, but a foundation to rebuild their lives in Boston.
