How to check if a bed is open tonight
- Call 211 first — they keep live bed-availability counts for every region, including this one.
- Or call this shelter directly: +1-617-442-9322. Ask "do you have a bed available tonight?"
- If you can, also ask about pets, partners, sobriety requirements, and curfew before traveling. Bed counts change hourly — we can't show real-time availability here.
Want to volunteer here?
Call ahead to ask what they need this week. Most shelters keep a volunteer coordinator — say "I'd like to volunteer" when you call. See more volunteer options near you.
