Bowery Residents' Committee is a large nonprofit in New York City that provides housing and related services to people experiencing homelessness. Founded in 1971 by recovering alcoholics living in poverty in the Bowery, it operates more than 30 programs across the greater metropolitan area. Its offerings include over 3,700 units of transitional and permanent housing, along with outreach, case management, and substance use and medical services, supporting a path from homelessness toward stability. Based in New York City, New York, BRC functions within the civic and social organizations sector and maintains partnerships to coordinate homeless outreach. In 2025, the nonprofit expanded its housing footprint with the acquisition of three Bronx apartment buildings intended to house formerly homeless families.
