A homeless child's dreams shouldn't have to wait until they have a permanent home. I was honored to unveil FamilyAid’s reimagination of what family shelters should be at the Ascend at the Aspen Institute's #ThinkXChange: The National Forum on #2Gen Approaches today. Our first collaborative 2Gen Navigation Center to accelerate every family member's path to success is opening in just a few months. The enthusiasm and encouragement of so many national thought leaders were gratifying and energizing. Thank you, Ascend and our Center's many supporters!

We’re thrilled that our Boston Children's Hospital Flex Case Manager, Mistral Olaverria, was an opening panelist at Ascend at the Aspen Institute's #ThinkXChange — a gathering of 200 national leaders focused on advancing #2Gen solutions to end family poverty. Mistral shared her personal story, highlighted FamilyAid's innovative Family Navigation Center model and emphasized her motto to “serve with intention.” Thank you, Mistral, for amplifying the voices of our families! 🎤✨ #FamilyEmpowerment #Leadership #EndFamilyPoverty #FamilyAid #TXC24

We help parents find childcare that fits their family’s needs so they can focus on self-improvement—whether through ESL classes, job training or employment. By prioritizing both parent and child, we’re setting up families for intergenerational success. 👨👩👧👦✨ #StrongerFamilies #BrighterFutures #WorkLifeBalance

We also connect people with community resources and services, from summer camps to primary care doctors. We need your help to reach even more families in need.

Yesterday, FamilyAid's Director of Housing and Prevention, Mikayla Francois, LICSW, met with more than 100 Boston Public Schools homeless liaisons, school administrators and United Way of Massachusetts Bay and Boston College School of Social Work colleagues to ready the district for our expanded Early Homelessness Intervention & Prevention program. Delighted to be working with so many great professionals supporting children and parents facing housing instability. Thanks to Mass General Brigham Mass General Hospital, TD, Gerstner Philanthropies and Liberty Mutual Insurance for their lead sponsorship of this critical program.
