Congress is negotiating FY26 appropriations—and the stakes are high. Community Health Centers face a funding cliff on September 30th. HUD housing programs are underfunded, with even more harmful cuts on the table.

Did you know that over 31,000 children sleep in a New York City shelter each night? 31,000. That is an astonishing number.

It’s back-to-school season, and our team at Care For the Homeless is making sure NYC kids have everything they need to start the year off with dignity.

At our Junius Street Health Center in Brownsville, Brooklyn, children of all ages received their essential vaccines, along with physicals, follow-ups, and care for their families. Each student also went home with a brand-new backpack filled with school supplies (thank you to our incredible volunteers who packed them!) and every family received a $20 gift card. The smiles said it all.

A heartfelt thank you to our Junius Street and Population Health teams for making this event such a success. Truly A+.

This week, we were honored to host NYC Department of Social Services Commissioner Molly Wasow Park for a tour of our newest site—the Blondell Avenue Men’s Shelter (now open) and adjoining health center (opening soon) in the Westchester Square neighborhood of the Bronx. The space is fresh, open, and full of possibility, and our team was thrilled to share it with the Commissioner.

We’re grateful to the team at DSS for always taking the time to connect with CFH and the New Yorkers we serve.

Home run! On Saturday evening, Care For the Homeless partnered with the Brooklyn Cyclones for Star Wars Night at Coney Island — and it was unforgettable. Our President & CEO, George Nashak, threw out the first pitch, fans lined up to spin the prize wheel, and a magical evening ended with fireworks over Luna Park.

More than just baseball, it was a celebration of community, connection, and 40 years of CFH serving New Yorkers experiencing homelessness. Stay tuned for more moments as we celebrate this milestone year together!

We are deeply grateful to District Director, Maron Alemu, from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ office for visiting our Junius Street Health Center and taking the time to hear from advocates and providers on the critical work being done in NY-8 to connect people with accessible health care options.

In 2024, 78% of the patients CFH served in Brooklyn lived in NY-8 and relied on our primary and behavioral health care services. With the vast majority of our patients living at or below the federal poverty level, recent federal changes threaten health coverage, food security, and housing stability of those we serve.

Big thanks to Representative Jeffries’ office for their commitment to stand with frontline providers in protecting and strengthening the support services our neighbors in NY-8 depend on.

The reconciliation bill will slash $1.5 trillion from Medicaid and SNAP — cuts that will have devastating consequences for the communities we serve.

New rules will create systemic barriers for people facing housing instability, making it harder to access life-saving programs. Re-certification, proof-of-address, and documentation requirements will overburden an already strained system — pushing more people out of care and deeper into homelessness.
