| Who We Are: Mission |
Project Renewal’s mission empowers homeless men and women suffering from addiction and/or mental illness to move permanently from the streets or shelters to health, homes, and jobs. Our comprehensive and innovative approach combines healthcare, addiction and mental health treatment, employment services, and housing to help our clients rebuild their lives.
|
| The Need |
Two thirds of homeless men and women suffer from mental illness and/or addiction. Many of them receive fragmented treatment, or no treatment at all, and as a result, cycle in and out of emergency rooms, jails, shelters, and the streets.
|
| The Solution |
Project Renewal's programs are designed to break this cycle and to meet the unique and multiple needs of chronically homeless New Yorkers. Our programs offer a range of solutions, under one organizational roof, designed to help clients overcome the issues that contributed to and prolonged their homelessness.
|
| The Strategy |
- Our comprehensive outreach begins on the street where our mobile psychiatric and medical teams reach homeless men and women where they struggle with daily survival.
- Once connected, we help clients move into treatment programs through which our clients recover their health and learn to manage their mental illness or achieve sobriety.
- We help clients prepare for, find, and keep jobs, providing both a means of support and renewed self-esteem.
- Transitional and supportive housing integrates affordable housing and support services to help our clients lead stable and productive lives in their community.
