On Tuesday, March 29th, Care For the Homeless (CFH) hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony at the Morris Avenue Safe Haven.

The Ribbon Cutting

We were honored to have New York City DSS Commissioner, Gary Jenkins; NYC Councilmember, Rafael Salamanca Jr; Senior Vice President, NYC Health + Hospitals, Matthew Siegler; and Shams DaBaron join us and speak in support of the Safe Haven.

The Morris Avenue Safe Haven

All Safe Haven residents have access to the site’s federally qualified health center with an on-staff psychiatrist, registered nurse, and a nurse practitioner. We will also be able to refer patients to their other health care delivery sites in the Bronx for other services, such as dentistry and podiatry.

“The Adams administration has brought added and much-needed attention to the problem of street homelessness in New York City,” said George Nashak, CFH President & CEO. “CFH is proud to partner with Commissioner Jenkins and his team to create effective solutions that bring people indoors, provide high-quality health care and social services, and help clients achieve permanent housing. These are the solutions to street homelessness. CFH is grateful to have the opportunity to open the Morris Avenue Safe Haven.”
