On the streets of Manhattan, in the subways of all the boroughs, and along the commuter rails of New York City, Westchester and Long Island, you'll find BRC Homeless Outreach workers. BRC is there around the clock, motivating homeless individuals sleeping in public spaces to take a step toward reclaiming their lives. Outreach offers a hand-up, not hand-out, and every 4 hours of every day a person who once lived in a public space accepts our outstretched hand and takes a step inside. BRC also trains volunteers who commit to a regular schedule, to work side-by-side with our outreach teams, several hours a week. And BRC operates the citywide 24-hour Homeless Helpline (212-533-5151), which receives over 1,000 calls a month.
