Our Homeless Services Division, of which Bread & Jams is a part, is committed to the eradication of homelessness, and Bread & Jams is clearly a jewel in the spectrum of services that Eliot offers. Over the past year, Bread & Jams provided 270 homeless persons with a safe, supportive drop-in environment, where they could get off the street; address basic needs for hygiene, nutrition and clothing; and access case management and other supportive services furnished by program staff and staff from our other homeless programs. Over 200 clients were also able to obtain treatment for health, mental health, substance abuse-related problems; and address outstanding legal issues which would otherwise preclude them from obtaining housing or employment.
