About

BRC is one of New York City's largest, most experienced and most successful providers of housing and services for individuals experiencing homelessness. Founded in 1971 by a group of recovering alcoholics living in poverty in the Bowery's infamous flophouses, these individuals had hope, and a firm belief that better days lay ahead. BRC has grown significantly since our grassroots beginning and now operates more than 30 programs with an annual budget of over $200 million. Our robust continuum of housing and services includes over 3,700 units of transitional and permanent housing; outreach and day treatment programs; and substance abuse and medical services. Together, these programs offer a caring and effective path from homelessness to home, providing comprehensive services that guide each individual on their unique journey. We measure our work and how well it is done, making sure our efforts achieve impact. In fiscal year 2023, BRC served 12,512 individuals at our site-based programs and thousands more through our outreach programs. Over one-half of those who left BRC programs achieved positive outcomes; including 165 people who successfully engaged in substance use treatment and moved on to the next step in their recovery, 351 BRC clients who entered the workforce during the year, and 1,018 individuals who moved into more independent housing.
