BronxWorks helps individuals and families improve their economic and social well-being.

From toddlers to seniors, we feed, shelter, teach, and support our neighbors to build a stronger community.

In all aspects of our work, we strive for the highest ethical and performance standards and are guided by the belief that people are to be treated with dignity and respect regardless of their present situation or past experiences.

Across our 60+ locations, we provide programs in a variety of service areas, including workforce development, children, youth, families, seniors and homeless prevention.

BronxWorks provides permanent supportive housing with an array of social services to more than 400 formerly chronically unhoused individuals and families throughout the Bronx.

We strive to break the cycle of homelessness with personalized, wraparound support, empowering individuals and families to rebuild their lives with stability, dignity, and hope.
