Support Solutions, Not Problems
Find out how you can join the CFH Family and be a part of the solutions to homelessness.
The solutions to homelessness are out there and CFH is at the forefront of making them a reality. However, as the saying goes, โIt takes a village.โ And our village of caring and dedicated staff and volunteers, needs you! Yes, homelessness is traumatic and complex. But we can expand and improve upon existing solutions to homelessness and develop new ones. All of which address those complexities and lift up homeless New Yorkers.
These strides toward a better New York City are thanks to the generosity of people who care. People like you. Our solutions will have an even greater effect with support from 12 of youโฆand even more with 30! Just think of what we can do with help from 95 or even 200 of you. You can join the CFH Family today and be a part of the CFH solutions to homelessness.

The effects of solutions
We first met Jennifer in February of 2020.
She had been experiencing homelessness and struggling with substance use disorder for two and a half years.
Fast forward to the Winter of 2021, and Jennifer has made remarkable strides and positive changes in her life.

This past summer, Faye successfully moved into her own apartment after a year of living in a shelter. Her story is like that of so many others and shows how important it is to continue delivering solutions to homelessness.
We were so excited to have M.A. Dennis return this summer as a recipient of the Success in Health Care award. His story is inspiring and shows how essential health care is as we continue to refine and develop solutions to homelessness.
