NERA supports Heading Home
Community Partnership

The New England Relocation Association proudly supports Heading Home

Through fundraising at our chapter meetings and the generosity of our members, NERA is proud to support Heading Home in their work preventing and ending homelessness across New England.

Since 1974, Heading Home has provided emergency shelter, supportive housing, prevention, clinical, and career services to families and individuals across Eastern Massachusetts, helping them reach lasting stability and independence. Every relocation is, at its core, a story about finding a place to belong, and we believe our industry has a responsibility to support neighbors searching for that same stability.

Our Commitment

Rooted in the community we serve

NERA is committed to giving back to the New England community through fundraising, outreach, and volunteer support at every chapter event.

Why It Matters

Stability changes everything

Heading Home has served over 8,100 clients, diverted more than 1,000 from entering the shelter system, and keeps 95% of clients stably housed. Over half of those clients are 18 or younger.

Organizations NERA Has Supported

Over the years, NERA members have raised funds and awareness for a range of causes across New England, from hunger relief to pediatric care to housing security. Here's a look back at some of the organizations we've been proud to stand behind.

Hunger Relief

By teaming up with relocation companies across the country, Move for Hunger runs one of the nation's largest year-round service programs. Movers pick up unwanted, non-perishable food from those relocating and deliver it to local food banks.

Youth & Family Support

A one-of-a-kind summer camp and year-round advocate for children who have difficulty finding success in traditional settings, offering a 1:1 staff-to-camper ratio to build social skills and coping mechanisms.

Pediatric Family Support

Provides a place to call home, at little to no cost, for families who travel far and stay for weeks or months so they can be close to a hospitalized child during treatment.

Child & Family Services

The oldest organization of its kind in the nation and the largest in New England, serving thousands of children and families each year through residential, community-based, and prevention programs.

Medical Transport

A volunteer organization that flies people free of charge to hospitals for medical care. Since 1996, Angel Flights NE has logged over 30,000 flights of healing and hope.

The leading national organization serving individuals, families, and professionals touched by traumatic brain injury, supporting an estimated 5.3 million Americans living with TBI through its network of chapters nationwide.

Housing Essentials

An Acton, MA nonprofit that provides household goods, free of charge, to people in need. What started in one family's garage in 1990 has grown into an organization that has helped thousands furnish a home.

Community Relief Fund

Established in 1998 in memory of Michelle Kennedy, this all-volunteer foundation assists Norwood families facing hardship with rent, medical bills, and other essential expenses.
