Our Mission

We’re all one accident away from suffering poverty and homelessness. How many people save up six months of income for emergencies? That’s why we’re fighting the root causes of homelessness and building a more equitable NYC. We target 3 issues that create instability in our communities:

Health

Did you know that more than 65% of bankruptcies are the result of healthcare costs? Corporations value profits over people, doling out expensive plans and inadequate care. That’s why we’re advocating for no-cost health coverage (“Medicare for All”).

Hunger

Access to healthy food stabilizes our communities. Through our Farm Programs volunteers harvest, collect, and deliver organic produce to New Yorkers in need.

Housing

We advocate for better policies that protect tenants and keep people in their homes. Our communities need transitional, supportive and inclusive housing.

Testimonials from our Community

“Thank you, John, and all of your volunteers and community partners, for always keeping community health and safety at the forefront of your work; the service to vulnerable communities you provide makes our work at PHP easier every day!”
- Richard Perkins, Harm Reduction Specialist at Housing Works
“Westhab and the families we serve at Hudson Family Residence have benefited greatly from the fresh produce received from MSCC. Providing access to garden fresh produce gives our families the opportunity to create nutrient rich meals and builds the foundation to healthy living that can be established early in a child’s life. The needs for this program are great and the demand for fresh produce continues to grow year after year. Note: Over 40 families have benefited from the produce and they have prepared many meals for their families.”
- Emma Villanueva, Westhab, NYC Shelter Program, Hudson Family Resident Shelter
