OUR WORK
GET INVOLVED
COMMUNITY MEMBERS
AGENCY MEMBERS
Welcoming non-for-profits, agencies and institutions severing those experience homelessness.
Members enjoy access to a wide network of like-minded organizations and resources.
THE APPROACH
Our approach is somewhat simple: we meet people where they are at, and support them until they are permanently housed- whatever that takes, and however long that takes. We do this using techniques and approaches that are grounded in evidence to be most effective, in a person-centered way.
WHAT WE DO
At Long Island Coalition for the Homeless (LICH), we connect those experiencing homelessness with the support that assists in exiting the status quo as fast as possible. Learn how we hope to end homelessness.
EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS
Addressing the complexity of homelessness requires strategic and sustainable solutions. At LICH, we believe results prove results. The key to success are research and cross-sector collaboration.
YOUR IMPACT
Homelessness is experienced by a community. As a community we can all take a part in ending homelessness by getting involved. Take the steps to helping your neighbors today.
