About Us
The focus of the Gardner Emergency Housing Mission is providing short-term (3-6 months), transitional housing for families with children in the Gardner schools system. The structure is unique because it eliminates families being relocated or split up to receive shelter. This keeps families in their established, local community and near schools, while maintaining work-life consistency in their time of need.

“My experience with GEHM was very good. They gave me help for my children and for me when I needed it most. I will never forget this help they gave me. Thank you so much.”
Who Do We Serve?

As of February 1, 2019, GEHM has rented an apartment to house client families. GEHM is able to primarily aid one family at a time. Soft referrals come via the Gardner Public Schools, Care Coordinators. Families identified as being housing insecure, receive an intro letter about GEHM.
