| About us | Wellspring House was founded in 1981 by seven dear friends who were willing to take the risk to do something radical: create a home where they themselves would live and provide temporary shelter to families, living side-by-side as a community. Wellspring still shelters homeless families. We are also focused on the future, having helped hundreds of families to secure permanent homes, graduated more than a thousand low-income adults from our education and job training programs, and facilitated the development of over 100 units of affordable housing on Cape Ann. |
