Providing help and hope to the hungry, homeless and hurting men and women of New York City. The New York City Rescue Mission has been caring for the needs of the poor and the homeless of our great city for over 142 years. As the city has grown over those years, so has the homeless population. We remain committed as ever to helping to be a part of the solution for this segment of the population. The New York City Rescue Mission is supported by caring individuals, foundations and businesses. Less than two percent of the Mission’s revenue comes from government funding. Over the past 18 months, the Mission has taken on its biggest project and has added three more floors to help even more people in our community, including women for the first time in its 142 year history.

New Alternatives for LGBT Homeless Youth was created in October, 2008 by a group of volunteers and professionals with experience working with homeless LGBT youth in various shelter and transitional housing settings. The mission of the organization is to increase the self-sufficiency of homeless LGBT youth to enable them to “go beyond” the shelter system and transition into stable adult lives. We do this by providing services such as case management, education services, life skills training, community-building recreational activities, opportunities for self-expression, and support services for HIV+ youth. Our guiding principles are those of harm reduction, youth development, and empowerment.

San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity is a local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity (HFH) International. Founded in 1990, we seek to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action while eliminating poverty housing and homelessness from the San Gabriel Valley. HFH works in partnership with God and people from all walks of life to create better, permanent shelter for lower-income families. To accomplish this, HFH builds and renovates houses, providing decent homes in decent communities where people can live and grow into all that God intended. Our affiliate has built 39 homes and has 11 more currently under construction on Kenwood Street in Glendale. When these homes are complete, our affiliate will attain the important 50-home productivity benchmark and will be providing 205 men, women and children with safe, decent, affordable shelter.
Our mission is to break the cycle of poverty for families facing homelessness by building pathways to long-term self-sufficiency, and providing quality early childhood education. Please donate at our website: acsatl.org/donate-atlanta-childrens-shelter/
