Housing
We are one of the oldest and largest providers of supportive housing in NYC, providing homes to over 1,500 New Yorkers. We pioneered the integrated housing model – a model that brings diverse populations together under one roof, integrating families, children, and people living with mental health concerns. Once considered unusual, this model is now a standard approach throughout New York State.
Education & Job Training
Our award-winning programs combine research-based methods with the bedrock principle of peer expertise. Of note, our Howie the Harp Advocacy Center in Harlem is recognized nationally as the gold standard in job training for mental health consumers.
Crisis Services
Our Crisis Respite Center was the first of its kind in NYC, and provides a haven to hundreds of New Yorkers each year, helping them avoid emergency rooms and costly hospitalizations.
Health & Wellness
We run several programs focused on helping participants improve physical and emotional well-being, including care coordination services, urban farming initiatives, a pet adoption program, and a dynamic PROS (personalized recovery-oriented services) program.
Advocacy
We are the leading advocacy organization for mental health consumers in New York. We train and empower community members to engage in activities that help shape policies and system-wide change.
Art
Our Art Collective is a community of artists who share the experience of living with a mental health concern. The Art Collective offers free instruction, studio space, workshops, and other resources that help artists to create, display, and sell their work.
