Walking into St. Francis House used to feel overwhelming—loud echoes, crowded spaces, and stress everywhere. Now, the downtown Boston day shelter is unveiling a total transformation, shaped by the real experiences of guests who’ve faced trauma and homelessness. The new design is all about calm: softer sounds, natural colors, more light, and spaces that feel welcoming. There’s even a boutique for picking out clothes and an art therapy room. Guests say it finally feels like a place to breathe, heal, and find hope. How do you think our public spaces could be more supportive for everyone? #Health #BodyHealth #Boston
