OUR WORK

Boston HEAT:
​
* Develops trusting relationships through specialized street
outreach year round. This is the foundation of recovery but nearly impossible to sustain when women are unhoused and actively addicted. We stay connected through meetings, calls, and texts combined with robust community partnerships at the Suffolk County House of Corrections, hospitals, police stations, and courtrooms.
​
* Provides a safe, secure space twice a week until midnight.
   Women come to share meals, get help, shower, do laundry,
   and rest. 

* Speaks at regional and national conferences, universities,   
   and community events about commercial sexual
   exploitation, substance use disorder, and HEAT's innovative
   model of community collaboration.
