Housing referral services
Refugees and immigrants are a nearly invisible part of Revere’s homeless community, in large part because few end up on the streets or in shelters. Instead, most find temporary space with family or community members. High rents, low wages, and limited English language skills make it especially difficult for refugees and immigrants to find and keep housing. With stable housing, refugees and immigrants can focus on improving their lives through education and job training.
Community services and involvement
WEE provides assistance to help struggling families meet their most basic needs including: food, clothing, and hygiene items.
