Community is at the heart of what we do. From hunger relief to pediatric care to housing security, NERA members raise funds and awareness for causes that strengthen the neighborhoods we live and work in.
Community Partnership
Through fundraising at our chapter meetings and the generosity of our members, NERA is proud to support Heading Home in their work preventing and ending homelessness across New England.
Since 1974, Heading Home has provided emergency shelter, supportive housing, prevention, clinical, and career services to families and individuals across Eastern Massachusetts, helping them reach lasting stability and independence. Every relocation is, at its core, a story about finding a place to belong, and we believe our industry has a responsibility to support neighbors searching for that same stability.
Support Heading HomeNERA is committed to giving back to the New England community through fundraising, outreach, and volunteer support at every chapter event.
Heading Home has served over 8,100 clients, diverted more than 1,000 from entering the shelter system, and keeps 95% of clients stably housed. Over half of those clients are 18 or younger.
Consider supporting Heading Home at an upcoming meeting, or reach them directly at info@headinghomeinc.org or 617-864-8140.
