Homelessness in New York City is at the highest recorded rate and keeps climbing. And the number of people that need to rely on food pantries and soup kitchens for their meals surges exponentially each year. While prevention is the Robin Hood ideal, many people in New York City are fighting for their lives. We cannot turn our backs on them. Robin Hood’s survival portfolio supplies housing to the homeless, food to the hungry, healthcare to the uninsured, shelter to victims of domestic abuse, and services and a home to those living with HIV/AIDS. All of these programs are combined with comprehensive support services designed to help people break the cycle of poverty.
