Service Overview
Each night, thousands of people sleep on our streets, subways, parks and other public spaces. Their experiences are as diverse and complex as their needs. But everyone is deserving of a home—a place to feel safe and warm, a place to live with dignity.
Our “Housing First” programs help people experiencing or at risk of homelessness achieve housing stability as a first step—often bypassing the shelter system altogether—before focusing on meeting their health and financial empowerment needs.
What We Do
Once in housing, a team of highly-trained staff can assess a client’s needs and, using a dynamic and trauma-informed approach, begin to address the factors that have led and contributed to their ongoing homelessness. This may include connecting them to health services like medical care, mental health services and substance use treatment, establishing identification documents, and applying for any benefits to which they may be entitled.
Our goal is to ensure that each individual is linked to the services and resources they need to successfully adjust to life in the program, maintain permanent housing and, ultimately, leave behind homelessness for good.
