"Home Sweet Homeless Shelter" is the third episode of the seventh season of the American television comedy drama Shameless, an adaptation of the British series of the same name. It is the 75th overall episode of the series and was written by executive producer Krista Vernoff and directed by Iain B. MacDonald. It originally aired on Showtime on October 16, 2016.

The series is set on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, and depicts the poor, dysfunctional family of Frank Gallagher, a neglectful single father of six: Fiona, Phillip, Ian, Debbie, Carl, and Liam. He spends his days drunk, high, or in search of money, while his children need to learn to take care of themselves. In the episode, Frank decides to have a new family and find them a new home, while Fiona decides to make a big leap for herself.

According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 1.44 million household viewers and gained a 0.6 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised Fiona's character development, humor and tone.
