City Relief

Founded in 1989 on the simple premise that all human beings have unsurpassable worth, City Relief provides emergency food Relief, socks, toiletries, masks, access to care, and care coordination/referral services as an accredited new york City hra provider and a member of the passaic county continuum of care.

City reliefs long-term vision is to create a reality where every individual experiencing homelessness and economic insecurity in the nyc metro area knows their value, has access to the resources they need to thrive physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually and has hope for a better future.

City Relief's pioneering approach has always been to go to economically disadvantaged communities, typically where unhoused individuals are already congregating, and provide fresh, hot, nutritious meals and essential care items as a means of building relationships, creating individualized action plans including connections for individuals in need to programs that can help them, and offering holistic support and encouragement along the way that yields improvements in overall quality of life and wellbeing.
