The Coalition for the Homeless, Inc. is a New York City-based nonprofit focused on assisting homeless men, women, and children. Founded in 1981, it pursues its mission through litigation, public education, and direct services, grounded in the view that affordable housing, sufficient food, and the opportunity to work for a living wage are fundamental rights. It identifies itself as the nation's oldest advocacy and direct-service organization dedicated to homelessness. The organization serves individuals and families experiencing homelessness, delivering services aimed at housing stability, food security, and employment pathways. It operates within the nonprofit sector of housing and homelessness, aligning with a network of organizations that provide advocacy as well as direct support. A recent development is its collaboration with the United Federation of Teachers to host a holiday toy drive for students living in temporary housing in New York City in December 2024.
