Ali Forney Centre
Founded in 2002, the mission of the Ali Forney Center (AFC) is to protect LGBTQ youth from the harms of homelessness while providing them with the tools they need to rebuild their lives. AFC is the nation's largest and most comprehensive organization dedicated to housing and caring for homeless youth who are rejected by their families because of the LGBTQ identity. AFC leads a scattered site housing program throughout NYC providing emergency shelter and transitional living program. AFC also operates a 24 hour Drop In Program designed to help homeless young people rebuild their lives, recover from the traumas of homelessness and family rejection, and offers youth the tools they need to rebuild their lives. Each year AFC sees over 1,400 homeless young people, serving over 200,000 meals, and offering over 30,000 mental health, substance abuse, and case management services. AFC was founded in memory of Ali Forney, a homeless queer youth who was murdered on the streets of NYC in 1997.

Coalition for the Homeless
The Coalition for the Homeless is the nation’s oldest advocacy and direct service organization helping homeless men, women and children.
We believe that affordable housing, sufficient food and the chance to work for a living wage are fundamental rights in a civilized society. Since our inception in 1981, the Coalition has worked through litigation, public education and direct services to ensure that these goals are realized, and in that time we have given more than one million homeless New Yorkers a way off the streets. Our frontline programs currently serve more than 3,500 homeless and at-risk people a day.
