BRC: Helping People to Reclaim Lives Lost.
BRC is a leading provider of housing and services to thousands of New York City’s neediest individuals. Offering a hand up, not a hand out, BRC asks one simple question: What can we do for you? BRC sees the potential in each individual it serves, and provides each the opportunity to find it. Whatever our clients may seek, BRC has it, 24/7/365: outreach to homeless people living in public spaces, drug treatment, mental health care, comprehensive medical services, vocational services, and supportive communities in which to live. 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.
