New York City Rescue Mission is a nonprofit organization based in New York City that has cared for the city’s poor and homeless since 1872. It relies on contributions from individuals, foundations, and businesses, with government funding making up a small share of its resources. In response to growing demand, the organization expanded its facility with three additional floors to increase capacity. Daily operations aim to shelter, feed, and clothe 160 men and 30 women, with overnight guests receiving case management to address underlying causes of poverty and homelessness. For women, the mission partners with Bowery and The Walter Hoving Home to connect residents with recovery programs, while a Residential Recovery Program for 60 men provides individualized plans toward employment, independent living, and improved well-being within about nine to twelve months. The organization works with other groups to address poverty in New York City and upholds a motto of Hope Lives Here in its mission to provide help and hope to the hungry, homeless, and hurting men and women.
