Boston Health Care for the Homeless

Founded in 1985, Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP) has provided and assured access to the highest quality health care for all individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Greater Boston, serving more than 11,000 patients each year. With over 30 shelter- and hospital-based clinic sites, BHCHP delivers health care to people experiencing homelessness wherever they may be—within shelters, on park benches, and other unconventional settings.

Despite experiencing heightened threats to their health and safety, women face especially high barriers to accessing the health care and resources they need to survive and be well. BHCHP has created innovative and empowering pathways to trauma-informed care for women, providing a trusted source of health care and supportive services to over 3,500 women each year.

SOCK DRIVE

At this year’s Women’s Leadership Forum we are pleased to support BHCHP with a sock drive! Bring in new, unused WOMEN’S socks and drop them off at the BHCHP table in the Wellness Lounge on March 25th
