For over a decade, BRICC has centered disproportionately disadvantaged Black refugees and immigrants in all of its services and has placed over 500 homeless and housing insecure refugees and immigrants in safe culturally connected housing in the communities of Mattapan, Dorchester and Hyde Park. BRICC offers housing needs assessment, permanent housing search, navigating the housing bureaucracies, rental support and education on maintaining tenancy.
BRICC currently operates a Scattered Sites SafetyNet Shelter which provides temporary housing and comprehensive social services for over 120 Haitian refugees in Mattapan, Dorchester, Roxbury and Brockton.
