This is a powerful and inspiring study of the Harvard Square
Homeless Shelter: the only student-run shelter in the United
States. Every winter night the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter
brings together society's most privileged and marginalized groups
under one roof: Harvard students and the homeless. What makes the
shelter unique is that it is operated entirely by Harvard College
students. It is the only student-run homeless shelter in the United
States. "Shelter" demonstrates how the juxtaposition of privilege
and poverty inside the Harvard Square Shelter proves transformative
for the homeless men and women taking shelter there, the Harvard
students volunteering there, and the wider society into which both
groups emerge each morning. In so doing, "Shelter" makes the case
for the replication of this student-run model in major cities
across the United States. Inspiring and energizing, "Shelter"
offers a unique window into the lives of America's poorest and most
privileged citizens as well as a testament to the powerful effects
that can result when members of these opposing groups come
together.
