Harvard Square Homeless Shelter is a small, student-run shelter located in the basement of University Lutheran Church in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts. It provides temporary housing for 24 guests each night during the five coldest winter months and offers street outreach, resource advocacy, and work contract programs. The organization operates within the civic and social organizations sector, focusing on immediate shelter needs and related services. Its goal is to help guests secure housing over time while maintaining dignity for people who have faced housing insecurity. The staff is described as a small team, reflecting its community-based, volunteer-driven model. In 2020, the shelter launched a Homeless Shelter Emergency Fund to cover unexpected costs arising from the outbreak.
