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.

"Facing Homelessness," an eight-minute video presentation, premiered at our Inaugural 20th Anniversary Gala on Sept. 13th, 2005. It received a Telly at the 26th Annual Telly Awards. The Telly Awards honors outstanding local, regional and cable television commercials and programs, and the finest video and film productions.

Listen to the stories of homeless people and how Care for the Homeless interacts with its clients to end the scourge of omelessness.
