current government programs. The overarching goal of the Coalition is to move beyond
warehousing homeless people in shelters by promoting and offering programs that
help them regain their dignity and independence. Our 12 direct service programs
are designed to engage homeless people, stabilize them, and transition them to self-sufficiency.

New York has been a presence in New York City, caring for animals in need when illness,

against abuse. Members fought for laws to punish negligent owners and place watering
troughs in streets and parks. As funds allowed the Society expanded to include a
