Sheltering Arms, Children and Family Services
Our programs provide the strength and opportunities families need to overcome a variety of challenges – ranging from homelessness to domestic violence, mental illness, substance abuse, extreme poverty, trauma, and other factors which stand in the way of success. The impact of our family and community wellbeing programs can be seen in the thriving, healthy families whose lives we’ve touched.

How we serve
Our comprehensive program model builds a life-affirming bridge for young people by engaging youth on the street (Street Outreach) providing no-barrier, safe, short-term housing to meet their immediate needs (Immediate Care), and longer-term transitional housing (Rights of Passage) to assist those who are ready for more independent living.

The office has pursued this mission through the dedicated work of its staff of attorneys, paralegal case-handlers, law students, and volunteers, as well as in partnership with law firms and community organizations. Today, as part of the Legal Services NYC family, they continue to provide free legal services, community education and training, and information and resources for local residents.
