Our Mission
Experienced in working with NYC’s Department of Homeless Services as well as other charitable organizations, they had the relationships and capabilities to help those who needed it most.
From providing hot meals to hot showers, from case management to substance abuse treatment, from medical services to employment services to permanent housing solutions, our goal remains the same.
We encourage our families to further their education and access any assistance they need to enable them to live healthy, independent lives and to contribute to their communities.
We aim to make the transition to permanent housing a smooth and educational experience that empowers families to remain in their own homes.
At BXFN, every resident is a part of our family as we support their transition to employment, permanent housing, and a secure future for themselves and their families.
