Mission Statement

All too often, Pine Street's guests struggle to get back on their feet only to discover that housing is beyond their grasp. For many the cost of market-rate housing is a barrier; for others, the difficulty of managing daily life on their own in the face of ill health, old age, or disability makes most housing options unworkable. In response to this need, the Paul Sullivan Housing and our Department of Mental Health houses offers permanent, affordable housing with on-site support staff.

Since 1984, Pine Street Inn has developed permanent residences for homeless individuals (based on the lodging house model ) and for families. Pine Street currently has more than 370 tenants in more than 20 residences throughout greater Boston. This permanent housing is available for men and women capable of living independently, and specialized housing is open to tenants with a history of mental illness or who are living with HIV/AIDS.
