With 30+ years of continuous operation in the City of Waltham, the Bristol Lodge Women’s Shelter provides temporary, emergency shelter accommodations for 12 homeless adult women.
​
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 Women’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 Women’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.
