Program description

• The BRC Reception Center is a transitional residence funded by the NYC Department of Homeless Services to house 96 men and women.
• The program is the only clinically based, transitional residence offered in the city for homeless individuals who have been diagnosed with one or more severe and persistent mental illnesses.
• Many of these individuals also have a history of substance abuse, some are medically fragile and some have criminal justice histories (including those who are participating in treatment as an alternative sentence to incarceration).
• The goals of the Reception Center are to provide psychiatric and medical stabilization along with therapeutic and case management services with the aim of placing its clients in appropriate, supportive housing within nine months.
• Follow-up care for at least one year is then provided to assist graduates in maintaining housing and continuing to successfully reintegrate into society.
