Over 85% of our families are in living in poverty, reflecting the challenges faced by nearly 1.7 million New Yorkers today.

CAMBA operates six homeless shelters for single adults, and a drop-in center funded by New York City Department of Homeless Services. Each shelter offers clients a supportive, structured therapeutic, safe, and drug-free environment. Single men and women experiencing homelessness may also present with chronic mental health and substance using behaviors.
