Care for the Homeless

Founded in 1984, CARE FOR THE HOMELESS, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, fights homelessness by delivering high-quality and client-centered healthcare, human services and shelter to homeless individuals and families, and by advocating for policies to ameliorate, prevent and end homelessness.





Care for the Homeless' new VIDEO premiered at our 25th Anniversary Gala at Comix on Wednesday, October 27th. The video was made possible by a generous in-kind donation from Herzog & Company.

Care for the Homeless arranges desperately needed health care for homeless people in places where they congregate and without regards to their ability to pay, contracting with licensed health facilities to provide health care services at 36 service sites in four of New York City's five boroughs. In addition, our professional staff provides a full range of social services to clients in need, such as substance use and mental health services. We also provide health education and direct help with Medicaid. In tandem with national, statewide, and citywide agencies, we participate in strong collaborations to provide homeless people with a real voice, helping to provide policy research and advocacy to address the needs of homeless people and shape society's response to them.
