Department of Human Service Programs (DHSP)

We are a recreational program that caters to individuals with special needs in the Cambridge area.

The Winter Warming Center is a welcoming and safe drop-in center where unsheltered adults can spend the night and be safe from the environmental hazards of the street during the winter months.

We provide free and nutritionally balanced meals to Cambridge residents 18 years of age and under. There are vegetarian and non-vegetarian options offered at all meal sites!

Supporting youth with special needs in afterschool/summer programming.

We offer safe and fun summer programming for Cambridge children and youth in Kindergarten - 8th grade that are located in school buildings and youth centers across Cambridge.

The guide is organized around six key themes: affordable housing, emergency housing, housing rights, legal and mediation services, safe & healthy homes, and financial assistance.
