Homeless in NYC: We Can Do Better

Those living on the streets face hunger, lack of shelter, and—especially as the weather continues to cool—freezing temperatures. Violence, especially in the past few weeks, is also a huge risk facing our homeless population. Catholic Charities of New York serves the homeless population in a number of ways, including providing emergency shelter and preparing people for employment.
