Social Services

Social services are a vital source of economic security for many households. To assist residents in locating services, the Town of Weymouth has developed a Social Services Reference Guide. This guide summarizes a variety of social service programs available in and around Weymouth, and offers contact information for local providers as well as general information on the eligibility and scope of assistance offered. Please note that this guide is not comprehensive. Nor does the mention of any facility, organization, or program constitute an endorsement by the Town. To report any errors in information or to request the inclusion of a new reference, please contact the Town's Housing Coordinator. Please include your name, address, and phone number in any correspondence.
