Our Work

How We HELP

HELP USA believes that housing is only the beginning. Once people no longer worry about having a place to sleep at night, they can focus on building better lives for themselves, their families, and their communities. We offer people facing poverty and homelessness safe homes as well as the support they need to live independent, fulfilling lives.

Homelessness Prevention

We provide support to individuals and families at risk of homelessness, helping them remain in their homes or relocate with assistance.

Transitional Housing

For those who have lost their homes, we offer safe shelter and support to quickly secure new housing and improve their chances to avoid homelessness.

Permanent Supportive Housing

We go beyond offering shelter by fostering skill development, offering educational support, and helping individuals manage and improve their lives.

Our Impact

What We Have Done

Since our founding in 1986, HELP USA has grown from a single shelter in
Brooklyn to a national leader in the fight against homelessness.
