What would drive you forward when others fade to dust?
What would give you strength and joy while others sit and rust?
Perseverance gets you through and helps you do things that few would dare to do.

Investing in Our Beloved Community
Learn More About The Campaign…
Founded in 1990, Brookview is a Black- and Latinx women-led organization that works for justice, equity and systemic change for low-income mothers and children in Boston, many with histories of domestic violence. Our mission is to help these families develop the skills necessary to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty. Through a two-generation, culturally-responsive approach, Brookview provides housing and a broad range of supportive programs to improve educational achievement, health and wellbeing, and economic independence.
Brookview never closed its doors during the pandemic. Instead, we called on friends like you, who helped us expand services to meet the increased demand. You helped us respond with safe housing, food, basic needs, rent and utility assistance, academic support, mental health services, and COVID-19 vaccine clinics.
As we struggle through another wave of this pandemic, we need your support more than ever. To help protect and grow this beloved community where mothers and children are cared for, encouraged to dream the impossible, and given the tools to reach those dreams.
Our goal is to raise $200,000 by year-end. Please give today!
Thank You for your gift and for sharing this page with family and friends.
BROOKVIEW IS… A BEACON OF HOPE FOR OUR BELOVED COMMUNITY!

SUCCESS STORY
“Brookview helped me learn to communicate in English, recognized and nurtured my love of art. At first, I didn’t know how to speak English, and it was a big obstacle at school and in the community, so I needed to attend bilingual classes for two years. Now I go to regular classes; I have learned how to communicate in English very well. I joined the Teen Visionaries where I learned about domestic violence and tried photography for the first time. I also attended sculpture classes on Saturday mornings.” –Tania

ABOUT US

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
Damage from homelessness spreads outward, destroying lives, creating tragedies never imagined. School-age children and youth personify such a tragedy. The issue – homelessness – gets the attention, the children’s emotional needs are ignored…
ADULT SERVICES
Brookview has an impressive record of success. The agency has helped 92% of families in our program to leave the ranks of homelessness permanently. These numbers only tell part of the story….
