As a friend of Homes for the Homeless, you were probably saddened, but not likely surprised, that the most recent U.S. Census numbers showed 30 percent of New York City children were living in poverty. Unfortunately, in these tough economic times, it is children who suffer the most. Rather than be discouraged, Homes for the Homeless is working harder than ever to support New York City’s families. With your help, we are able to operate our quality family shelters; the Prospect Family Support Center, which gives emergency care to families in crisis; after-school programs; summer camps; and our newest program, Milk from the Heart, which provides free, fresh milk for New York City’s low-income families.
