Here are just a few stories from among the thousands of people working to find their way home. With your help, Way Finders can provide the tools and guidance our neighbors need to avoid homelessness and live their best lives. 

a single mother had...

nowhere else to go and was forced onto the streets. Way Finders provided her and her children temporary supportive housing and then helped them make the transition into a stable home. Working together, a plan was put in place to help this mother achieve her goals, including finding steady employment.

a hardworking family...

was struggling to find housing in a safe neighborhood. They were directed to an affordable Way Finders' apartment in an area they can happily call home

an elderly couple...

was about to lose their life-long family home. They had fallen behind on their mortgage when their incomes dropped because of disability and medical expenses. At Way Finders they found the support and guidance they needed to stay in their home.

community investment tax credits (CITC)

Invest In Community. Invest in Way Finders. Through a competitive funding program, the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development has allocated Community Investment Tax Credits (CITC) to Way Finders to be used to match donations of $1,000 or more from local residents and businesses. Full details can be found at the Community Development section of the department's website: www.macdc.org/how-it-works

  • The tax credit is equal to 50% of a donation of $1,000 or more made by a corporation, an individual or a nonprofit institution.

  • If you do not owe state income tax, the tax credit will be paid to you directly; it is "refundable."

  • Donors may also be eligible for federal tax deduction for their donation.

  • Eligible donations made during the current calendar year will result in a certificate of tax credits to be redeemed on this year's tax returns.
