About Care For The Homeless

Care for the Homeless provides healthcare without regard to people's ability to pay. They include shelters for single adults, family shelters, soup kitchens, drop-in centers, SROs, and a street outreach program to the mentally ill in four of New York City's five boroughs.

In addition to these basic health-related services, when appropriate, their contracted medical providers refer clients to our social service professionals who address a range of psychosocial needs among homeless people, including mental health and substance use services, and entitlement benefits, including help with Medicaid.
