Hearth Program Celebrated for Leadership in Nonprofit Advocacy Work
At their annual meeting this week in Dallas, LeadingAge celebrated the good works of another nonprofit, the Hearth program in Boston, Massachusetts, awarding Hearth one of their top awards for “Excellence in Leadership.”
Hearth is dedicated to “the elimination of homelessness among the elderly through housing, outreach and advocacy.” They identify strategic goals, including increasing the supply of permanent, affordable and supportive housing in Greater Boston, as well as support for national initiatives directed to end elder homelessness. Hearth also facilitates elders’ access to specific services, including legal services. Hearing about their projects, going back to 1991, was definitely a feel good moment at the conference.
Congratulations, Hearth!
