Organization Details

The hopeful ethos of self-help, personal responsibility, and direct services still guides us as we help more than 6,000 people each year - still on the Bowery, but also in all five boroughs. Though the Bowery has changed significantly, our clients come from all over the city and remain among the most needy in New York. Many are mentally ill and chemically addicted; more and more of them are HIV positive. We persuade them to come in off the streets, give them shelter and direct them to our rehab and job training programs. We help many obtain their own apartments and jobs. As we have from the beginning, we acknowledge individual strengths and needs as we try to foster individual responsibility.
