More than 4,700 times in 2008, an individual in need said yes to BRC and walked through our doors; and over 2,600 times, a BRC client successfully graduated, and moved forward to reclaim their life. BRC succeeds by building trust with the people it serves; listening, and then acting, providing housing – both temporary and permanent – to over 1,100 individuals daily, and services through 25 programs located throughout New York City. Building trust takes time, and a compassionate, dedicated staff of over 450 employees and 300 volunteers that persevere 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year, never giving up. And neither do our fellow New Yorkers, who called the BRC Homeless Helpline nearly 2,000 times last year. Help someone reclaim a life lost by calling the BRC Homeless Helpline at 212-533-5151.
