The Casa Project
The Casa Project is an upstream homelessness prevention program that provides wraparound individualized services that secure housing stability for families and individuals. Every year, we assist over 1,800 households, working under the mission of ensuring everyone has a place to call home.
For over 20 years this one-stop service model has addressed housing instability and prevented displacement and homelessness for thousands of families, individuals, older adults, young adults, and children across the Commonwealth.
Our Casa Housing Advocates empower, serve, and educate households facing housing issues, helping them overcome barriers, and secure resources to remain stably housed.

The Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless is one of dozens Social Services Organizations across the state that offers MassHealth Flexible Services. Since the beginning of this statewide programming implementation in 2021, our agency engages in contracted work with Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) to provide housing support across the state for members experiencing homelessness as well as those at risk of experiencing homelessness.
Partnering with these contracted ACO's:
-
Community Care Cooperative (C3)
-
WellSense Community Alliance
-
Tufts Health Together with UMass Memorial Health
-
Fallon Health-Atrius Health Care Collaborative
As the state of Massachusetts continues to transform the Flex Services Program into the new framework of the Health Related Social Needs (HRSN), we are actively equipping our agency in the process of becoming a Managed Care Entity (MCE). This transition will enable us to continue serving members referred by ACO's, providing support in housing and nutrition, and becoming a Hub for these services.
