CARITAS COMMUNITIES INC

At Caritas Communities, we provide very low income individuals with permanent housing, support, a sense of community and expanded opportunities. For more than 30 years, Caritas has helped fill the need for safe, secure housing in Greater Boston.

Founder P. Leo Corcoran and a core group of supporters started with one triple-decker in Dorchester in 1985 with a vision to “acquire and develop housing and provide other social services to benefit low income members of society.” Caritas now owns and manages 30 properties that provide affordable housing to 895 people. We will continue to develop affordable housing properties as long as there are people who cannot afford to live in Greater Boston: individuals whose jobs do not provide a living wage, elderly, disabled and veterans, because no one should be homeless.
