Quick spotlight on a group that combines immediate help with long-term advocacy, and has spent decades pushing New York toward more humane responses to homelessness.
What is Coalition for the Homeless?
Coalition for the Homeless is the nation’s oldest advocacy and direct service organization helping homeless individuals and families. Since 1981, it has paired frontline support, including food, eviction prevention, crisis services, housing, job training, and youth programs, with policy advocacy, shelter monitoring, and public education focused on long-term solutions.
Why I like recommending them
Direct help + systems change. They work on urgent needs right now while also fighting for housing-based solutions and the rights of homeless New Yorkers.
Deep local credibility. Their advocacy is grounded in decades of hands-on work with people facing homelessness in New York City.
