Programs and Services
Homeless Outreach
Services
BRC's homeless outreach teams work 24/7/365 in the subways and streets of New York City to assist the unsheltered to come inside, offering shelter on terms our clients can accept. Our teams are in the subways, at Penn Station and Grand Central, and throughout Manhattan.
Permanent
Housing
Maintaining affordable housing is particularly difficult for New Yorkers with a history of homelessness. BRC serves as a benevolent housing developer & manager for many clients, creating caring and supportive communities.
Mental Health
Services
BRC provides comprehensive mental health support and treatment across our range of programs, with a focus on serving clients who are severely and persistently mentally ill (SPMI), many of whom have co-occurring substance abuse problems.
Services for
Older Adults
BRC offers special services for older adults, including permanent supportive housing and, through our Senior Center, recreational activities, health services, educational assistance (including ESL classes),
nutritious meals, and more.
Transitional Housing
& Shelter
At BRC, we understand someone can become homeless for many reasons. We have 19 transitional housing programs- each with a primary focus - but all designed to provide shelter and the resources needed to overcome challenges and find permanent housing.
Substance Abuse
Treatment
BRC offers rehab, counseling and harm reduction services that help our clients find recovery from drug or alcohol addiction. Our two addiction treatment programs meet the recovery needs of over 500 men and women each year.
Workforce
Development
The Horizons Workforce Development program helps residents of BRC’s shelters to overcome obstacles to employment, enabling them to be effective job seekers and employees with the skills to maintain lasting self-sufficiency through employment.
Services for
Children & Families
As the community of children and families living in BRC facilities continues to grow, BRC is adapting to provide access to educational technology and resources, recreational programming, and other key services that enable these residents to thrive.
