Like many cities, New York is filled with contradictions. With over eight million persons residing in New York City, there are not sufficient accommodations for domestic violence victims. While New York City is home to several world class hospitals and medical centers, most families of critically ill patients cannot afford hotel and restaurant charges to remain with their loved ones during treatment and recuperation. For all the educational opportunity and excitement offered by premier colleges and universities in New York City, students here can find life and learning here a little daunting.

Our mission to sojourners in New York City is to help them re-claim their lives amid adversity and distraction. We seek to be a “home away from home” for them, offering these special sojourners pastoral care, hospitality, social assistance, advocacy and prayer. If our mission doesn’t have the resources to address a particular sojourner’s need, we find a mission that does, and we get them there.
