Beneficiaries

Who is helped?

Havens Almoners reach out across all five boroughs of New York City. Although the challenges they identify vary, their charge is the same—to improve an individual's and/or family's well-being in a time of crisis.

Havens grants help:

• Families at imminent risk of eviction and/or utility shutoff
• Survivors of fires, floods or other disasters making their home uninhabitable
• Families without income due to the sudden death or incapacity of the primary breadwinner
• Those needing interim help while they search for employment after job loss
• Survivors of domestic violence or sex trafficking
• Adolescents aging out of the foster care system
• Grandparents raising their grandchildren
• Immigrants and refugees
• Children of incarcerated parents
• Families with medically fragile children
• Mentally disabled adults living independently

 Please note: Havens does not accept unsolicited requests for individual support.
