Though Lower Manhattan does not have a large homeless population, the Downtown Alliance provides a helping hand as needed. When the city closed the John Heuss House homeless center in 2009, we partnered with Trinity Church on a two-year pilot contract with Bowery Residents Committee homeless outreach services to supplement the work of the City’s Department of Homeless Services. The program has generated positive results and led to an outreach effort to help people connect with appropriate social services.
