HIGHER GROUND

Higher Ground's overarching focus is to improve educational outcomes in our community. Since its founding in 2010, Higher Ground has focused on addressing the needs of children and families in its target area in sections of the Roxbury and Dorchester neighborhoods in the heart of Boston... We leverage capacities of schools, housing, health and other service providers to house homeless families with children in Boston schools, reduce family homelessness, improve educational outcomes for the children, and support families to achieve their self-defined social and economic goals... Higher Ground serves the Boston community by collaborating with schools and community organizations to serve as an intermediary and backbone organization in maximizing the collective impact of preexisting resources.
