No Lost Cause and North Suffolk Community Services

No Lost Cause: No Lost Cause was established in 2021 and our mission is to help individuals and families battling substance use disorder (SUD) and create effective change where change is needed. We support other local non-profits by providing funding to individuals transitioning from treatment to sober housing in order to continue receiving the treatment and aftercare necessary. We want everyone who would like to continue aftercare to have access to treatment and safe housing without the monetary strain that can occur.North Suffolk Community Services: Founded by private citizens of East Boston, Chelsea, Winthrop, and Revere, Massachusetts in 1959, North Suffolk Community Services began with a mission of providing mental health services to individuals, and especially children, in these relatively underserved communities. It operated first as a Child Guidance Center in 1963, then grew into a Community Mental Health Center from the 1960’s through the 1970’s as Federal and State policies provided less institutional care and more support for community-based services. North Suffolk continued to grow in the number and types of services through the 1980s and 1990s to become one of the largest providers in the state. Today, North Suffolk Community Services touches the lives of more than 12,000 people a year. Our staff of 900 assists families, children and individuals in 4 clinics, 38 residences and 74 programs.
