Hearth at Ruggles is the only deeply affordable assisted living residence in Massachusetts, with priority given to older adults experiencing homelessness or housing instability. It's supportive housing that meets people exactly where they are. #Hearth #AssistedLiving #Boston

Older adults are the fastest growing group of people experiencing homelessness in the U.S. Nearly 1 in 4 people in Boston shelters is over 55. Hearth exists to change that. #Hearth #OlderAdultHomelessness

Some people who call Hearth home have been with us for 15 years. Others for 20. That kind of long-term stability is what supportive housing is designed to make possible. #Hearth #OlderAdultHomelessness #HousingStability

Ending older adult homelessness takes more than services. It also takes policies that help older adults stay housed. Hearth advocates for the funding and policies needed to strengthen housing stability for older adults.

$14K-$20K. That's the average annual healthcare savings for Commonwealth Care Alliance members living in Hearth's supportive housing, per CCA's own analysis. Stable housing means better health outcomes for older adults.

For older adults in Hearth's housing, having a stable home means having the security to focus on what comes next. A safe place to live can offer more than shelter. It's the foundation for stability and connection. #Hearth #OlderAdultHomelessness #HousingStability

Not all housing is the same, and for older adults facing homelessness, the difference determines whether stability lasts. Shelter offers a bed for the night. Permanent supportive housing offers something else: a lease with no end date, paired with case management and healthcare coordination.

Hearth President and CEO Rhonda Pieroni recently joined the PR Bunker Podcast to talk about what it takes to help an older adult move from facing homelessness into a home of their own. "It can be frightening to put that key in the door and then close that door behind you," she says.

Independence looks like cooking your own dinner again. Like neighbors who know your name. Like aging on your own terms, in a home that's yours. That's what a stable home makes possible for the older adults Hearth serves. We talk about three things a home gives back. Stability. Dignity. Community.

The rest of this week is going to be extremely hot, with temperatures reaching up to 100 in the Boston area. For someone without air conditioning or shelter, that kind of heat turns dangerous fast. Now imagine facing it with no apartment at all: no door to close, no cool room to retreat to.
