Homes for the Homeless explained
Homes for the Homeless (HFH) is a 501(c)3 private, non-profit organization which provides housing and employment training for homeless people in New York City. It has a family-based, child-centered and education-focused approach to its programming that aims to break the cycle of poverty, foster positive identities and promote future success.[1]
From 1986 to 1991, HFH sheltered hundreds of families in New York in some of the largest homeless shelters in the United States.[2] [3]
As of 2019, HFH maintains smaller homeless shelters under contract from the city in the Bronx and Queens.[4] [5] [6]
