NEWS FLASH
To respond to the record-high number of
homeless women seeking shelter, Susan’s Place underwent
a renovation to create a new dorm to accommodate an additional
20 women. This new dorm is designated for medically frail
and elderly homeless women. To ensure that these clients
receive the special care they require, CFH created and
filled a new position of Medical Case Manager, that is
dedicated to ensuring that the medical needs of the clients
are adequately considered and addressed in their search
for permanent housing in the community.
Despite the economic challenges of the current
recession, Care for the Homeless is committed to helping
the increasing number of homeless individuals who desperately
need our health care and shelter services.

Care for the Homeless arranges desperately needed health
care for homeless people in places where they congregate and without
regards to their ability to pay, contracting with licensed health
facilities to provide health
care services at 36 service
sites in four of New York City's five boroughs.
In tandem with national, statewide, and citywide
agencies, we participate in strong collaborations to provide homeless
people with a real voice, helping to provide policy research and
advocacy to address the needs of homeless people and shape society's
response to them.
