Donate today to help more young people like Jarrar find stability, care, and a safe place to heal. 🔑🏠

Jarrar was just 18 when she came to ICL’s Linden House after a mental health crisis. With 24/7 support and therapy, she regained her footing, graduated high school, enrolled at BMCC, and is now preparing to move into ICL’s Enhanced Young Adult Supportive Housing program.

Thanks to the help of our gracious supporters, this year ICL served 1,000+ children and young adults, helped 94% of youth in treatment apartments maintain stable housing, and moved 57 young adults from shelters into homes.

In a new Capitol Pressroom radio interview, ICL President & CEO Jody Rudin explains how medical respite helps patients who are medically ready to leave the hospital but have nowhere safe to recover, providing short-term residential care with 24/7 clinical and case-management support.

She also discusses findings from ICL’s new report with Comunilife, Inc. and Health + Hospitals on how this model reduces unnecessary inpatient stays, prevents avoidable readmissions, and improves outcomes as Medicaid cuts loom.

Medical respite care is being pushed as a cheaper alternative than prolonged hospital stays for New Yorkers without stable housing.

We believe everyone deserves a home they would be proud to live in. That belief has come to life at The Atlantic, our newest residence in Cypress Hills. 💛

Carmen and her teenage son were among the first to move in after more than a year in the shelter system. “We’ve never lived in something brand new,” Carmen shared. “Knowing my son has a place to come home to, that we can rebuild our confidence, is everything. To get back a home… it’s such a blessing.”

With 183 beautiful apartments, amenities like a gym, lounge, and rooftop terrace, plus on-site support services, The Atlantic is helping families move from shelter into safe, dignified homes. 🔑🏠

This season of giving, you can help more families like Carmen's find a place to call home. Donate today: https://tinyurl.com/6hzsutt2
