Dominic
Carter speaks at Open House |
| Over
140 friends, supporters, community and civic leaders gathered
at Susan’s Place on March 27th to celebrate the completion
of the construction of the transitional residence and medical/dental
clinic that will serve mentally ill and medically frail homeless
women. Care for the Homeless was honored to have Bronx Borough
President Adolfo Carrion, Jr. as our special guest and Dominic
Carter, host of NY1 as our key note speaker. |
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 28 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.
