Pine Street Inn

Recently, Lyndia Downie sat down with Boston Public Radio’s Margery Eagan and Andrea Cabral to talk about tomorrow's Thanksgiving meal at Pine Street Inn. "It's not just about having a nice meal, it's about bringing volunteers in so people aren't feeling so lonely," says Lyndia. Watch now on GBH: https://lnkd.in/ethYdJP5

During her 40 years at Pine Street, Lyndia Downie has transformed the organization from a shelter offering just a bed and meal for the night, to an organization that provides a wide range?of services and owns or manages 39 permanent residences with more than 1,000 tenants in Boston and Brookline. Here, Lyndia speaks with a tenant in one of our residences, as she continues to advocate for safe, stable housing for all.

We're giving thanks to the Saint Cecilia's parishioners for Sunday’s Thanksgiving Meal Drive. This year, the parish donated more than 300 bags filled with all the fixings for a Thanksgiving feast, which will be distributed to tenants in Pine Street’s housing. We are grateful for your support of our Pine Street Inn community

Move-in day to a permanent home marks a powerful new chapter in people’s lives. Over the past two days, 15 individuals have moved beyond homelessness and into Pine Street Inn's newest permanent supportive housing in Jamaica Plain. Over the coming months, this residence will become home to 140 new tenants, bringing Pine Street’s total to 1,100 units of housing. Join us in celebrating this milestone by sharing your best wishes for new tenants! Thank you to The Community Builders, Inc.!

Today, Pine Street Inn's housing site in the Back Bay hosted a pre-Thanksgiving luncheon to help make tenants feel at home. Thank you to Beacon Communities LLC for your work creating a welcoming community for tenants.

Supportive housing is the key to getting people back on their feet and ending homelessness. Across 39 housing locations (and more on the way), Pine Street's staff works every day to move people off the street, out of shelter and into permanent housing. Learn more: https://ow.ly/Xffm50UamJr
