St. Francis Friends of the Poor is a non-profit organization in New York City that has been dedicated to transforming the lives of the most vulnerable homeless individuals with severe mental illness since the 1970s. They provide affordable, permanent housing along with on-site medical, psychiatric, wellness, and social services to help their nearly 300 residents thrive.
Founded by three Franciscan Friars, St. Francis Friends of the Poor pioneered the concept of permanent supportive housing for the homeless with mental illness. Their three residences in Chelsea offer a safe and accepting environment where residents can regain their health, develop relationships, and live in a supportive community.
