Our Programs

Victory Programs operates various programs throughout Boston, all built on our strongly held belief that no person who is struggling should be asked to do the hardest thing first, on their own, before they are offered the fundamental support they truly need.

Housing

When folks are safely housed, they’re much more likely to address their health, addictions, and other issues. It’s a “housing first” approach that includes stabilization services, emergency shelter, transitional and permanent housing, housing search and advocacy, case management, and more.

Recovery

We address substance use disorders, co-occurring mental health concerns, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, and other chronic conditions with the education, tools, resources, and ongoing support people need to regain their health, prevent and manage relapse, and maximize their independence.

Prevention

On the streets, at our Boston Living Center, and across programs, we work to prevent chronic conditions and overdoses. We provide HIV, Hepatitis C, and STI testing and counseling; a healthy meals program; syringe and naloxone distribution; and an array of education, navigation, and support services.

Our Model

House the person

We follow a low-barrier housing-first clinically driven approach to guide clients towards health and safety.

Serve the person

A client is not a statistic; a case file is not who that person is. We provide high-quality, evidence-based services based on individual needs, offering flexible, strengths-based solutions to people’s biggest challenges.

Strengthen the spirit

People’s success ultimately depends on their own belief in themselves and their future. We focus on what a person is doing “well,” with a nurturing effect that fosters continued effort from the first steps toward progress and growth.

Hope for the Holidays!

 

At Victory Programs, we believe everyone deserves to feel cared for, especially during the holidays.

 

This season, we’re putting together winter gift bags filled with essentials: a cozy hoodie, a hat, gloves, and a scarf. The kind of simple, heartfelt items that bring warmth in more ways than one.

The Place with the Red Door

Offering services, treatment, support, and care for everyone who needs it is the backbone of this venerable organization. From young adults experiencing homelessness who are seeking support in an LGBTQ+ affirming space, to people experiencing substance use disorders and much more, the people at Victory Programs see a need and try to fill it.

The organization began as one small program all those years ago.
