Mission Statement

Care For the Homeless fights homelessness by delivering high-quality and client-centered health care, human services and shelter to homeless individuals and families, and by advocating for policies to ameliorate, prevent and end homelessness.

Description

Care For the Homeless (CFH) has met the medical, mental, and behavioral health care needs of people experiencing homelessness in New York City since 1985

We currently operate 25 health care delivery sites throughout Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. We have plans to open more in the near future.

The majority of our service sites are co-located at facilities operated by other non-profits. These sites include shelters for single adults and families as well as assessment centers and soup kitchens. In addition, our community-based health center model brings services directly to neighborhoods where the need is most significant. Both models reduce the barriers that homeless New Yorkers regularly face in an increasingly complex health care system as well as increase access to high quality health care. Regardless of an individual’s ability to pay, all services are always provided.
