Homes for the Homeless (HFH) operates shelters for families experiencing homelessness in NYC. HFH family residences are more than just a place to sleep. Families can make the most of their stay through accessing an array of onsite programs. Many of these programs are also available to people living in the local community. HFH’s goal is to have a positive impact so families can thrive long after they leave the shelters.
HFH Summer Camps: Just one hour outside New York City, Camp Wakonda offers adventure and learning for children experiencing homelessness ages 7 through 11. Since 1989, HFH Summer Camps have welcomed nearly 19,000 campers. By learning to swim, garden, and boat, they learn to respect nature and each other. Every day at camp, the campers form long-lasting friendships and memories.
