New Alternatives accepts clients who are 16-24 years old, identify as lesbian, gay, transgender, or bisexual, and are “homeless” or at-risk. We define homelessness broadly to include youth living on the street; youth in shelters, transitional living programs, and foster care; youth who are “couch-surfing”; and youth who are trading sex for a place to stay.
Clients are accepted on a walk-in basis on Sundays from 6pm-8pm and Tuesdays from 5pm-9pm at Middle Collegiate Church, 50 E 7th St. NYC NY 10003. Identification is not required and a referral letter is not necessary. We will provide verification of the client’s attendance upon request.
For more information, please fill out our contact form and someone will get back to you.
