Updated: Feb 19, 2023


If you are experiencing homelessness on Long Island, here are a few things you can do to get help: Call us now!


Seek assistance from a homeless shelter: we have many resources on this website you can call.


 Long Island has several homeless shelters that provide temporary housing, meals, and other services to those in need. Contact the shelters in your area to find out about availability and the services they offer.


Apply for public assistance: You may be eligible for programs such as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), and Medicaid. Contact your local Department of Social Services to learn more.


Look for job training and employment programs: Many organizations on Long Island offer job training and employment programs to help homeless individuals get back on their feet.

Seek help for mental health and addiction: Look for organizations that provide mental health and addiction services.


Contact a case manager: Many shelters and organizations have case managers who can help you navigate the services available to you and create a plan to address your specific needs.


Seek Legal Aid: If you are facing legal issues such as evictions, seek help from legal aid organizations.

It's worth noting that help and resources may vary depending on the county you are located on Long Island, and it's important to research and reach out to organizations that are specific to your location. Additionally, it's important to keep in mind that finding a permanent solution to homelessness may take time and require a combination of different services, such as housing, employment, and health support.
