WELCOME TO VICTORY PROGRAMS

Victory Programs is a Boston-based nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals and families who are homeless and may have substance use disorders, often accompanied by chronic health issues like HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C and mental illness. Providing a welcoming environment, our compassionate and inspiring team is committed to helping our clients and members regain health and restore hope through immediate access to safe and stable housing. Victory Programs operates 17 health and housing programs in Boston, Cambridge and Topsfield and serves more than 2,300 people every year.

Our staff has been working hard since the Long Island Bridge closing to replace the 47 women’s treatment beds we lost on October 8, 2014. We are pleased to share that we have identified two new Boston based properties for conversion into women’s recovery homes! Stay tuned for updates as we move forward with these two new programs. Click here to see information for neighbors about the Roxbury based Victorian Home which will house 24 women’s recovery beds when it opens later this year.
