In Massachusetts, 1 in 10 residents live in poverty. More than 15,000 people are homeless on any given day. And a stunning 1 in 3 adults are considered food insecure. Rosie’s Place addresses these critical needs by providing comprehensive, compassionate, immediate and expert support to every woman who seeks our help. The mission of Rosie’s Place is to provide a safe and nurturing environment to help poor and homeless women to maintain their dignity, seek opportunity and find security in their lives. Rosie's Place relies solely on the generosity of our individual, foundation and corporate supporters. We do not accept city, state or federal funding so that we can maintain our independence.
