Chapel Street Adult Shelter
Somerville’s first and only shelter for homeless adult men and women
opened in 1986 in a church in West Somerville. Sixteen homeless people
are able to stay on a transitional basis (12 male and 4 Female) while we
assist them with rebuilding their lives and moving into permanent housing.
We offer services that include meals, medical care, case management, and
referrals and coordination with community services.
Cross Street Family Shelter
Opened in 1987 in East Somerville, our shelter serves five or six families at a
time. It is one of the few shelters in the state that can accommodate
teenage male children and intact families (including fathers). Case management, housing search, referrals to community resources, and child-care activities are among the many services we offer.
