In 1986, with support from more than 200 volunteers and 30 faith groups the agency purchased a vacant multi-family property at 105 Winter Street in Haverhill for use as an emergency shelter. In 1986 the company launched the agency into the area of affordable housing development. The corporation has developed a total of 65 units of affordable housing, 5 commercial units, and 71 beds for emergency and/or transitional shelter. In 1988 a 5,200 square foot structure was purchased and the company converted it into a 13 unit SRO (Gilead House) for homeless adults with disabilities and substance abuse histories. In 1989 the basement of Gilead House was converted to a 23 bed emergency shelter for homeless adults (Mitch's Place). Today Mitch's Place shelters up to 30 homeless men and women nightly and is located in the new George C. Wadleigh Center.
