Housing is only part of our approach to homelessness; high-quality is just as essential. At our locations, individuals can access both — including crucially essential services such as:

• Primary Care
CFH provides physicals, vaccinations, health screenings, chronic disease management, getting you back on the path to better health.

• Dental
Our dental team provides routine exams, cleanings, fillings, extractions, dentures, and more, because oral health is whole-person health.

• Behavioral Health
CFH offers psychiatric consultations, psychotherapy, and individual counseling — in a space that's safe, private, and free of judgment.

• Substance Use
Our team offers one-on-one substance use counseling, group sessions, and Medication Addiction Treatment (MAT).

In 2025, CFH supported over 40,000 visits to our health centers, and every single person was seen, regardless of ability to pay. Learn more and support our work: careforthehomeless.org/make-a-donation/

Care For the Homeless mourns the untimely passing of our colleague, Fred Shack.

Fred led Urban Pathways for more than 20 years. He and his team were valued colleagues and partners to CFH, in particular as co-sponsors of the annual Homeless Persons' Memorial. Fred was a tireless leader dedicated to a diverse and effective homeless services sector, a respected teacher, and an exemplary advocate for people experiencing homelessness. He was also the epitome of decency.

The staff and leadership of CFH send our condolences to Fred's family and to our friends and colleagues at Urban Pathways. With Fred's passing, we have lost one of New York City's most effective leaders in the fight against homelessness.

New York City needs more housing that is actually affordable. Despite record levels of “affordable” housing production, most new units are out of reach for those who need them most. Too often, these units require earnings far above what many households can realistically afford.

The solution is clear: we must build 60,000 new homes over the next five years specifically for people who are currently homeless and for extremely low-income households at risk of losing their housing.

Now is the time to act. Urge the New York City Council to prioritize housing for those most in need. Make your voice heard: bit.ly/Add60KHomesNYC

At Susan’s Place, our women's shelter in The Bronx, our recent open mic and workshop centered on one simple but powerful idea: your voice matters.

Through storytelling, poetry, and shared experiences, residents explored what civic engagement and voting mean to them – not just as a right, but as a form of power. These spaces are about more than performances; they are about creating opportunities for women experiencing homelessness to step into their voices, claim their stories, and be heard.

The joy in the room was undeniable. Laughter, reflection, and courage filled the space as the residents supported one another and reminded us all that advocacy starts with speaking your truth.

We are constantly inspired by the strength, creativity, and leadership of the women at Susan’s Place. This is what voter engagement looks like: building confidence, community, and the belief that your voice can shape the world around you.

We were thrilled to welcome Erin Dalton, newly appointed Commissioner of the New York City Department of Social Services (DSS), which oversees both the Human Resources Administration (HRA) and the Department of Homeless Services (DHS), to our Morris Avenue Safe Haven in The Bronx.

CFH CEO George Nashak, and Executive Director Jonathan Santos-Ramos gave Commissioner Dalton a tour of the facility, which provides healthcare and transitional housing to those experiencing homelessness.

Thank you, Commissioner Dalton, for visiting with us and learning more about our impactful work. We look forward to working together to address and end episodes of homelessness across .

We are honored to welcome Moody McCarthy to the Board of Directors at Care For the Homeless.

Moody brings a genuine compassion for helping others and a deep commitment to supporting individuals experiencing homelessness. His willingness to give his time and voice in support of our work speaks volumes, and we are truly grateful to have him join our community.

"We are thrilled to welcome Moody McCarthy to the CFH Board. I first saw Moody's ability to connect with an audience up close, and it struck me that the kind of empathy and honesty that makes a great comedian is exactly what we need more of in this work. Comedy has a unique power to break down barriers and open people up to seeing the world differently — and that's precisely what we need as we work to change how our city thinks about and responds to homelessness. Moody brings a fresh voice, a big heart, and a perspective our board has never had."— Surjit Chana, Board Chair

“At a time when the need for compassionate care continues to rise, strong and thoughtful leadership matters. We are excited to welcome Moody to the Board as we advance our mission and expand our reach across the city.”
— George Nashak, President & CEO

Please join us in giving Moody a warm welcome to the CFH family.

Moody has been performing stand-up comedy since 1992, with appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Conan, The Late Show with David Letterman, America’s Got Talent, and CBS’s The Early Show, among others. Alongside his successful career, Moody is deeply committed to using his platform to support efforts that help end homelessness and uplift individuals in need.
