ShortStop (SS) Transitional Housing is a community-based
program that provides housing and transitional care for homeless young adults
ages 18- 22 from the Somerville, Cambridge and Greater Boston areas. This is a
service offered by Wayside Youth and Family Support Network. Founded in 1977, Wayside is dedicated to building strength, hope and resiliency through its programs, which
have reached over 5,000 people throughout Eastern and Central Massachusetts.
ShortStop offers a
variety of services including educational and vocational support. It is now
home for twelve young men and women who are receiving assistance to make successful
transitions to stable, permanent, independent living situations and adulthood. Donated artwork is an important part of the ShortStop facilities, demonstrating to
the residents what a well-balanced home can be. Artwork is installed in
the living and dining rooms, main hallways, entrances, and other common areas.
