In answer to a need for accurate and thorough information about medical and community
services available to the homeless and other folks who are down and out. Women of Means has
created and up-to-date directory, complete with telephone and fax numbers for organizations
that offer a helping hand. This comprehensive directory can save you time and energy as it
contains quick, easy access to services and referrals. Included are more than 600 numbers for
services provided by the state and local governments, detoxification support, discrimination
referrals, drop-in services and meals, healthcare options for the homeless, hospitals and
health centers, adult and family shelters, services and shelters for women and families who are
homeless. All numbers were verified in 2000.
The directory was compiled by Women of Means, Inc. We are a non-profit organization
providing free, accessible health care to homeless and poor women in Boston shelters.

Women of Means is headed by Roseanna H. Means, M.D. Dr.Means trained at the
Brigham & Women's Hospital and has spent 16 years in the Boston area as a primary
care physician. Since 1990, she has devoted a significant percentage of her clinical time
to caring for the homeless, including several yeas as a Medical Director of a residential
recuperative facility for homeless persons. In 1998, she elected to concentrate her
energies on the most vulnerable of this population, the women. Women of Means, Inc.
was founded on the knowledge that fear, confusion and mistrust keep many homeless
bureaucratic barriers, Dr.Means and her associates have been able to significantly
improve the health of hundreds of women.
