About Us:
Since 1985, the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program has dedicated itself to providing equitable and dignified access to top-tier health services for individuals and families facing homelessness in the greater Boston area. Each year, we serve over 10,000 homeless individuals, ensuring they receive comprehensive health care ranging from preventive dental services to advanced cancer treatments. Our team of clinicians, case managers, and behavioral health specialists operates in more than 30 locations, catering to some of the most vulnerable yet resilient members of our community.

We are committed to transformational work that emphasizes our shared humanity, dignity, compassion, and mutual respect. Our goal is to support every individual's right to high-quality health care while empowering our staff to reach their full potential. We actively work to dismantle barriers, including systemic racism, and provide community-based health services that are compassionate, dignified, and culturally sensitive, addressing social determinants of health to overcome both physical and systemic obstacles faced by our patients.

We encourage applications from bilingual, bicultural, LGBTQIA individuals, as well as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.
