For too many of our guests, education and employment opportunities are out of reach due to cost, language or technology barriers. We are committed to providing them with critical steppingstones to help them reach these opportunities. One way we help our guests reach their goals is providing them access to our Employment Specialist, who last year alone, worked with 304 women, helping them with resumes, job training programs and job searches.

This Women’s History Month, we’re reflecting on some of the women who helped shape Boston, like Melnea Cass.

We provide access to laundry facilities, free of charge, seven days a week. This basic but essential service helps our guests stretch their monthly budgets.

Did you know that 93% of individuals living in poverty have unmet dental needs? Rosie’s Place partners with the Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine to provide our guests with free dental screenings in our Wellness Center every month. Together, we’re providing our guests with not just dental care, but improving their overall health—and hopefully bringing them some smiles, too!

Rosie’s Place joined our coalition partners at Massachusetts Immigrant & Refugee Advocacy Coalition (MIRA) at the Statehouse today for the 29th Annual Immigrants Day. Advocates from across the Commonwealth gathered to recognize and celebrate the many amazing social, economic and cultural contributions immigrants make to Boston and Massachusetts, and to meet with legislators to advocate for the Safe Communities Act, the Immigrant Legal Defense Act, Dignity Not Deportations, and other key legislation impacting immigrants.

Over one-third of Boston residents speak a language other than English at home, and almost 16% of residents need support in accessing services provided in English. Our Advocates provide women with support in their own language—from English to Haitian Creole to Mandarin—ensuring that no details of the answers they need are lost in translation.
