What they do
1. HOUSING INSECURITY: DIGNITY, PRESENCE, and REMEMBRANCE IN 2025, BFJN DEEPENED ITS COMMITMENT to THE UNHOUSED COMMUNITY BY MOVING BEYOND POLICY TOWARD INTENTIONAL, RELATIONAL PRESENCE. WE FOCUSED ON THE BELIEF THAT JUSTICE BEGINS WITH SEEING and HONORING EVERY INDIVIDUAL. HONORING THE LOST: WE ORGANIZED and HELD FOUR MEMORIAL SERVICES to REMEMBER and HONOR THOSE WHO PASSED AWAY WITHIN THE BOSTON SHELTER COMMUNITY. THESE SERVICES PROVIDED A SACRED SPACE for GRIEF and DIGNITY for THOSE OFTEN FORGOTTEN BY THE BROADER PUBLIC. STORYTELLING and VOICE: WE HOSTED A STORYTELLING WORKSHOP SPECIFICALLY for NEIGHBORS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, PROVIDING A PLATFORM for THEM to RECLAIM THEIR NARRATIVES and SHARE THEIR LIVED EXPERIENCES ON THEIR OWN TERMS. MINISTRY of PRESENCE: OUR TEAM WALKED ALONGSIDE WORK TEAMS THAT ARE PART of THE NEW MARKET WORK PROGRAM. THESE WERE INTENTIONAL TIMES of PRAYER and RELATIONSHIP-BUILDING, FOSTERING GENUINE FRIENDSHIPS WITH OUR NEIGHBORS ON THE STREET. HOLIDAY GAT

Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
Money in and money out
