Unfortunately, Father Bills is Horrible. Disgusting, unsafe, uncomfortable. There is so many people, to the point they make residents sleep upright at a table. They call it a "warming center". There is only One working shower, and One working toilet for at least 40 females. The other toilet Overflows basically Everyday. The flooded toilet never gets mopped up or anything sanitized. So All the residents are stuck walking around in toilet water and Fecal matter. Everybody is sick because of mold and whatever else. Board of health shoulcheck

It is one of the main Quincy shelters for homeless persons to go to outside the Boston area. They have strict curfews and if you have a job, but do not get permission to come in after hours, then you will not get a bed to sleep or cot to sleep in. Although, they have renovated and changed their facility with over 50-70 news beds and transitional housing on a waiting list, right next to the Quincy Police Station Headquarters.For a previous homeless woman that has transitioned out of this situation, even though I had a job, the facility managers still left me sleeping on the floor with other homeless men and I did not get any referrals for housing from management either.FBMS is a place to go to when you need emergency housing assistance only.

This place is filthy. The staff will threaten a written warning if you don’t wear a mask. However they do not bother to clean or disinfect the mattresses in between uses. The men’s dorm bathroom has had fecal matter smeared on a wall for four weeks now. So, FYI - forced mask wearing isn’t a substitution for basic sanitation practices.

One of the best and safest emergency shelters on the Greater Boston Area. Staff is compassionate and always willing to help and/or make reasonable accommodations when necessary. I was homeless for a short period of time however that experience was way smoother because of Father Bill’s. Their case managers and support system in general helped me get approved for government housing assistance a matter of weeks! Big shoutout to all FBMS staff ❤️❤️❤️????

I, was unable, to stay at this shelter. I, have a serious permanent back injury. A mattress is provided, on the floor. I, could not get up& down, from the floor. Only 2 bags of belongings, are allowed. I, have 3 suitcases,& a small grocery bag. Additionally, the shelter expects homeless to leave, early in the morning. I, am too physically ill, to wait until evening time to go inside& then, leave for the day, at the very crack, of dawn. The temporary shelter arrangements, available through "Father Bill's," are not suitable, to my physical disability & shelter access-needs.
