Mission Statement
Steppingstone Incorporated’s mission is to strengthen the quality of life among individuals and families of our community through providing comprehensive, client-centered programs and services that enhance well-being and promote independence.
About This Cause
Steppingstone, established in 1972, provides an array of services in Southeastern Massachusetts, primarily the cities of Fall River and New Bedford, MA. Services include operations of a 50-bed emergency homeless shelter, over 100 units of supportive housing for the homeless, comprehensive case management and care coordination, outpatient mental health treatment and substance use treatment, residential treatment programs, transitional recovery housing, peer recovery support, medication-assisted treatment, and other services. Our programs provide a continuum of care that addresses all areas affected including behavioral health, physical health, housing, financial/income, employment, legal, social and family connectedness, trauma recovery and other areas. Steppingstone serves persons in need of substantial support in order to turn their lives around and become independent. Approximately 80% of our clients are homeless upon entry, 70% of our clients possess a mental health disorder and/or chronic substance use disorder, 70% possess additional co-occurring health problems, 98% posses extremely/very low-income levels (in accordance with Federal Poverty Guidelines), 42% have an education below a high-school level diploma, and 90% are unemployed upon entry. Our clients are in substantial need of a comprehensive service system in order to transition into the community and remain stable and self-sufficient.
