Studies show that with populations who have faced defeat and loss, the arts and creative expression can have a significant impact in facilitating life change. Even among audiences the Minstrels have touched, results have been positive.

KEY FINDINGS OF 2008/2009 Boston Homeless Census:


 

  • The census counted 7,681 men, women and children who were homeless in Boston, which is an increase of 11% over last year’s count of 6,930.

  • The number of families who were homeless increased by 22% between 2007 and 2008.

  • The number of individuals who were homeless increased by 3% between 2007 and 2008, which is the first increase after three years of decline.
