Genesis II

Genesis II is a 22-bed family treatment shelter, which allows homeless mothers and fathers struggling to maintain sobriety receive inpatient treatment without having to place their children in foster care. Residents also receive assistance with housing, parenting skills, job readiness skills, budgeting, household management, nutritional planning, and medical care.

A full-time case manager and a full-time family life advocate work with residents on the implementation of an individual/family treatment plan that includes intensive substance abuse counseling and attendance at self-help groups. Mental health treatment also is available.

Genesis II is a program of Catholic Charities Greater Boston. For more information, call 617-332-9905.
