For 40 years, HELP USA has worked to ensure that everyone has a safe, stable place to call home.

We provide emergency shelter, permanent supportive housing, and wraparound services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness across New York City and beyond. 

At HELP USA, we meet people at their most vulnerable moments and walk alongside them toward safety, care, and long-term stability. Our programs help prevent deeper crises and create the conditions for people to heal and thrive because housing is not just a place to live; it’s the foundation for health, opportunity, and hope.

This year, we’ve set a $40,000 fundraising goal to mark 40 years of impact and innovation. Every dollar raised through Winter Walk will directly support HELP USA’s life-changing programs, including:
- Supporting survivors of domestic violence - The ROADS program offers counseling, legal advocacy, and trauma-informed services that help survivors regain safety and work toward rebuilding stability.
- Strengthening mental health and connection - Through the Client Wellness Initiative, residents with elevated risks receive regular check-ins and enhanced activities that reduce isolation, support wellness, and help them remain housed.
- Expanding opportunities for children - HELP’s After School programs support academic progress and enrichment so young people in shelter can keep pace with their peers and build foundations for future success.

Register today. By walking, donating, or fundraising, you’ll be part of a winning team that delivers real solutions. Every step taken helps ensure families and individuals in crisis receive the support they need to move forward.
