Great for women. You can eat, get essentials, take a shower, etc. No men. Women only. Very grateful for this place!

I Found Hair In My Food And One Of The Staff Basically Called Me A Liar To My Face. The Food There Is Eatable But Todays Lunch Was Not It. Hopefully, There Aren't Anymore Troubles In The Kitchen Because I Really Need Hot Meal. Maybe The Chef Need To Take A Little More Precautions.

They have no shelters available in Massachusetts or Connecticut or any where. Where are you suppose to go? If you be in a shelter you have a max if you don't find apartment. I wish someone would really help.

If you have children you go to the dta office. But for single woman there isn't really any shelters. As I was told when I was looking; I'd be better off trying to stay with family.

Tianna Lewis | Aug 23, 2020
Amanda Shewan | Aug 23, 2020

Well kind of yes, they will get you an advocate! The best time to go, if you're looking to sign up for housing is Tuesday from 12pm to 2pm but go early.. Once your there you can ask questions, they offer lots of wonderful things!! Also try HomeStart! Which is located at 105 Chancy Street 5th floor, I needed a referral from my case Manager/Consular but they still might be able to point you in the right direction.. I hope this helps you hun!

Rosie's Place | Aug 23, 2020

Hi Marisol, We know every woman is in a different situation and that's why we encourage women to come in and speak with an advocate one-on-one so we can best help every guest who comes through our doors. There are no limits to the number or length of appointments and we can and will continue to help before, during, and after the 21 day stay we provide in our overnight shelter.

Can I get any advocate for physical and mental health issues. I am 64 and getting around is more than difficult. I have other extenuating circumstances. For now I'm living in a van I bought to house me and my 2 chihuahuas apartments

Rosanne Mazza | Aug 23, 2020
Rosie's Place | Aug 23, 2020

Hi Rosanne, The best thing to do is to come into Rosie’s Place and make an appointment to speak with an Advocate. They will be able to let you know how we can help. To make an appointment, please come in Monday-Friday, 7:30 am - 7:30 pm and speak with the Advocate at the podium in the front lobby. Our address is 889 Harrison Avenue, Boston, MA 02118. Alternatively, you can call and leave a message on our advocacy line at 617.318.0296 and someone will get back to you as soon as they can.

If Pine Street can verify that you have a place to stay, they won't give you a bed. They have a Rapid Rehousing section that might be able to help you. Call them and ask to be transferred.

I am not able to answer your question; I will try to get an answer for you from one of the women in charge. Meanwhile you may call ask. Thank you so very much for wanting to donate to Rosies Place, may your mom rest in peace and continue smiling at you.

It's not easy being homeless with children. If you call 211 they tell you go to so and so and you tell them your situation and really don't help they say they don't have shelter's available. If your homeless you try get an ID of residence you can't

Mave L Fig | Aug 24, 2019
S Bullock | Aug 24, 2019

Rosie's Place can definitely help you out with that. If they can't, they make calls to those who can. They recently helped me get one of my utilities bills paid off. They didn't have the funds at the time so they made a few of calls until they found an organization or someone that would be able to help me out... It was ridiculous high.
