Housing Assistance Recognized as One of  The Boston Globe’s ‘Top Places to Work’ 

Hyannis-Based Housing Nonprofit Honored for Workplace Culture 

HYANNIS, Mass. (Dec. 9, 2024) – Housing Assistance has earned a spot on The Boston Globe’s 2024 “Top Places to Work” list in the medium-size employer category.  The nonprofit organization joins a high-caliber group of employers that are recognized for their workplace culture and efforts to foster an environment where employees feel valued, supported and appreciated. 

“This recognition by the Boston Globe is incredibly meaningful to our entire 120-person team,” said Alisa Magnotta, CEO of Housing Assistance.  “We have worked hard to build a great culture rooted in collaboration and respect, and it is rewarding to see that reflected in this distinction.  Our employees’ dedication to each other and to addressing the housing crisis across Cape Cod is what makes Housing Assistance such a special place to work.” 

The first-time recognition of Housing Assistance has special meaning as it coincides with the organization’s 50th anniversary. 

“Our workforce is our biggest asset,” said Bill Bogdanovich, Chair of Housing Assistance’s Board of Directors and CEO of Broad Reach Healthcare, a past recipient of the “Top Places to Work” honor.  “This recognition, driven by our employees’ feedback, is a powerful reminder of how important it is to cultivate a culture and organization where people are proud to work.” 

Housing Assistance has been at the forefront of efforts to ensure that all residents on Cape Cod have access to safe, stable and affordable housing.  Through shelters and homeless services and programs such as homelessness prevention, education, housing counseling, and affordable housing development, Housing Assistance is working to build stronger communities on the Cape and provide local residents and families with pathways to economic and housing stability. 

The Boston Globe’s annual Top Places to Work list honors companies with employees across Massachusetts that excel in employee satisfaction and workplace culture.  The rankings are based on survey responses from tens of thousands of employees who evaluate their companies on factors such as leadership, values, training and benefits.  This year, more than 8,000 organizations were invited to participate across four categories: small, medium, large and largest companies.
