With 30+ years of continuous operation in the City of Waltham, the Bristol Lodge Men’s Shelter is located atop Lexington Street's historic Waltham Central Fire Station. For all clients, beds are time-limited and are meant to offer temporary, emergency shelter accommodations.
Upon completion of the intake process, clients are given access to individualized case management services, meant to address and provide referrals for a wide spectrum of topics, including housing, employment, mental health, substance abuse, financial insecurity, nutrition and more.
The Men’s Shelter is a "dry" shelter, meaning that clients may not enter or remain inside the facility if they are intoxicated or under the influence of any substance. The Men’s shelter is also a night shelter, meaning that the facility is closed between the hours of 8:00am and 4:00pm (with the exception of extreme weather and/or meetings scheduled by shelter staff).
The Bristol Lodge Men's and Women's Shelters operate on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are in need of a bed, you must go through the pre-screening process by calling 781-893-0108, Monday through Friday. Phone calls are accepted beginning at 9:00am.
