Innovative, more humane homeless shelter for young folks opening in November in the area
http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/2015/08/27/two-harvard-grads-want-change-the-way-help-the-homeless/7sUBFGwo1BNYOS7gpjjJ6M/story.html?p1=feature_stack_7_hp
It's in Harvard Square, and is specifically for young folks, and is run by Harvard students, apparently. It looks to be far more supportive and respectful than the other shelters in the area (of which I am unfortunately familiar). The bunk beds look really cool!
I had heard that the previous shelter run by students at Harvard was much better than the rest (but was really hard to get into). So this one will likely be good as well. Now we just need a bunch more of these to serve all the homeless and semi-homeless, rather than having to kick some people out on the streets even when they really want to be in the shelters...
