Homes for the Homeless
Homes for the Homeless (HFH) is a 501(c)3 private, non-profit organization which provides housing and employment training for families and homeless people in New York City. It was founded in 1986 through a collaboration with Leonard N. Stern, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and the city of New York.[citation needed] According to an article written by the Council of Economic Advisers in September 2019, homeless is almost always involves people facing desperate situations and extreme hardships[1][not in citation given] Homelessness is not a stage where people envision they'd be stuck in on this journey called life. As of 2018, there were 553,000 homeless people in the united states. The state of poverty and deprivation is a national issue that is mainly seen in urban areas with a larger population such as Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, and New York City. Homelessness occurs in every state and country but, according to the Business Insider, New York City ranks the highest since 2018 [2]. Washington, DC was number one out of 9 states with high homelessness ranking but, homeless population declined between 2017 and 2018 [2]. Homes for the Homeless has adopted a family-based, child-centered, education-focused approach to its programming that aims to break the cycle of poverty, foster positive identities, and promote future success while allowing kids to grow, experience, and learn as kids do [3].
During the period 1986 to 1991, the organization sheltered hundreds of families in New York in some of the largest homeless shelters in the United States.[4][5]
As of 2019, the group continues maintain smaller homeless shelters, under contract from the City, in the Bronx and Queens.[6][7] [8][9]
