Great place. The best walk in shelter in the Boston area. Lame how they only have like 40 female beds, tho. The blokes gets like 200. 😒 Food was also fairly good for a wet shelter.👌

Can I leave my personal belongings there so I can work?

Can I leave my personal belongings there so I can get a job and look for transitional housing?

There is no *immediate* storage at any of the facilities in the entire city. And I'm not singling out this particular hostel because their entire staff is known to treat guests respectfully, but the city of boston and its "homeless industry" are far behind West Coast cities on that issue. For example, San Diego's mayor has provided two large storage facilities for people who have nowhere to keep their belongings, so they can go to work every day and don't become physically exhausted from hauling their stuff around all day long.

Yes, there use to be a small dining place on Dartmouth Street in Boston, I hoping that it might be still open and running And also Francis House on Boylston stree at the intersection of Tremont Street Take care

Ill be heading to Boston shortly , i was wondering if there are shelters that provide housing of a sort that allow you stay where storage is allowed ? Meaning even a certain time your secure with a place to come back As a individual not a family ?

Boston doesn't have much Homeless Services, I have Experienced that for myself, Albuquerque is Great though, but there are a lot of Addicts so be careful.

Boston Rescue Mission | Aug 31, 2019

Within the same building, there are men's beds (limited) and women's beds which are separated by floor, but no "couples" beds to speak of.

Can I just show up and get a bed or a space to sleep

James Dickson | Aug 31, 2019
Melody Cortis | Aug 31, 2019

But bring your own pillow, otherwise you'll need to roll up a shirt or jacket to use instead.
