Join us for an evening of live blues music, awards, food and drink, and celebration to support Hildebrand’s work transitioning families out of homelessness.

At this critical time when funding for affordable housing, shelter, and safety net programs has been cut on federal and state levels, Hildebrand is stepping up.

Beyond our core programs, we're piloting an Upstream Diversion Program that helps families remain in their homes and avoid eviction. And, our Economic Mobility Program provides matched savings and financial education to support families in achieving their financial goals after leaving shelter.

Funds raised through Brews & Blues will support Hildebrand's comprehensive work towards safe, stable housing for all families. We invite all supporters, volunteers, neighbors, and friends to join us.

🌟🌟 Staff Spotlight 🌟🌟

Marc Jean-Jacques, Director of Housing & Stabilization, oversees Hildebrand's Stabilization Services team, which helps families remain housed after they transition from shelter to permanent homes. He also plays a leadership role in building new initiatives and pilot programs at Hildebrand.

Marc works directly with families in the Economic Mobility Program to set and work towards their financial goals, and he trains new partner organizations and oversees direct assistance for the Upstream Diversion Program.

Since joining the Hildebrand team in 2009, Marc has served in roles across the organization, including Case Manager, Residential Manager, and Tenant Support Specialist. When developing new programs and strategy, Marc draws from his extensive experience working directly with families for 17+ years at Hildebrand.

“I always start by listening—to families, staff, and community partners,” says Marc. “Understanding the barriers families face helps us design services that are practical, responsive, and impactful.”

Hildebrand is thrilled to announce that we will present our first Economic Mobility Champion Award to Rose Francois, Executive Director of The Midas Collaborative, at Brews & Blues on October 28th!

As Executive Director of the Midas Collaborative, Rose Francois leads the organization's efforts to expand economic opportunity and create pathways to economic mobility for low- to moderate-income communities throughout Massachusetts.

Hildebrand partners with the Midas Collaborative to provide matched savings through our Economic Mobility Program, which supports families who have recently transitioned to permanent housing to build savings towards an emergency fund, homeownership, or entrepreneurship.

Join us for this evening of live music, food and drink, and the presentation of the Economic Mobility Champion Award.
