Fountain House is a national nonprofit based in New York City that supports people living with serious mental illness through community-based programs aimed at recovery and social inclusion. The organization reports that its members experience crises less frequently than peers with similar challenges, contributing to 21% lower Medicaid costs. On entry, many members face substantial barriers—such as homelessness or unstable housing (38%), a history of incarceration (26%), and substance use disorders (31%)—while they progress toward education, paid work, and health and wellness goals at higher rates than those without access to such services. It has operated for more than seven decades and is described as a national nonprofit focused on mental health and social services. The organization has developed initiatives such as the College Re-Entry program launched in 2014 and a policy roadmap introduced in 2023 to inform crisis response and service gaps. In 2026, Fountain House was named an Official Charity Partner of the TCS New York City Marathon, reflecting a collaboration with New York Road Runners.
