Today, along with our partners at Urban Pathways, we observe Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day. We pause to honor and remember the lives lost to homelessness and the stressors of being unhoused. We light candles—each flame representing a person, a story, and a life that mattered.

If you can't join us for our event this afternoon (RSVP link below), please take a moment today to light a candle in remembrance of lives lost to homelessness.

Tomorrow, we gather.

On Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day, we remember those we lost to homelessness and recognize that the absence of housing leads to gaps in care, untreated illness, and lives cut tragically short.

Join Care For the Homeless and Urban Pathways tomorrow, December 18th, as we honor their memory and reaffirm our collective commitment to ending homelessness through compassion, comprehensive care, and policy change.

This holiday season, you can be the hope someone needs. As the winter months settle in, thousands of New Yorkers are facing the cold without a stable place to call home. Many are struggling with chronic illness, untreated mental health needs, family crises, or the lasting trauma of homelessness. Every day, they walk through our doors seeking comfort, connection, and care—hoping for a path forward.

For 40 years, CFH has stood beside New Yorkers experiencing homelessness, providing compassionate health care, safe shelter, and the essential support that helps people rebuild their lives. This year, we continued that legacy with expanded outreach, deeper connections, and life-changing care across our 17 health centers and five shelters, all throughout the city.

Your support makes our work possible. It lights the path forward.

We invite you to join us this holiday season by donating clothing, attending an event, volunteering, or making a holiday gift.

$50 provides 8 meals at one of our shelters.
$100 gives a move-out kit for someone's new apartment.
$200 purchases someone a blanket, winter coat, shoes, and socks.
$1,000 provides 75 people with a holiday meal.
$2,500 funds 138 MMR vaccinations for children at our health centers.
