HELP USA is a pioneering national nonprofit homeless services provider and low-income housing developer. Across five decades, HELP has worked tirelessly to prevent homelessness before it starts, shelter people in crisis, and support people to keep them securely housed. Headquartered in New York City, HELP’s 1200+ employees address the root causes of homelessness in seven states, managing over 40 transitional and supportive housing locations and more than a dozen prevention and service programs. Through its affiliate, HELPDevCo, 1000s of new, quality, affordable homes continue to be built and managed, addressing the housing shortage and strengthening vulnerable communities. Founded in the heart of Brooklyn, NY, in 1986, HELP USA has helped more than 500,000 people build better lives. For more information, visit www.helpusa.org.
Since our founding in 1986, HELP USA has grown from a single shelter in Brooklyn to a national leader in the fight against homelessness.
Everyone deserves a place to call home. That’s why we provide customized programs and housing for people from all backgrounds, especially those at a higher risk of experiencing homelessness.
