Mary S Taylor Homeless Outreach - Residential Reintegration

Harm Reduction Approach In A Supportive Setting

Located in East Harlem, this residential program offers a structured, recovery-oriented environment for adult men facing homelessness and substance use challenges. Grounded in a harm reduction philosophy, it recognizes recovery as a gradual process and encourages residents to engage with licensed outpatient care while residing in a safe and stable setting.

Comprehensive Treatment And Health Support

Residents receive individualized and group counseling using evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral (CBT) and motivational therapies. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) are integrated for alcohol and opioid use, alongside coordinated medical and mental health services. On-site testing for conditions like HIV, hepatitis, and tuberculosis supports overall health and safety during recovery.

Life Skills, Employment, And Housing Assistance

To support lasting change, the program includes vocational and educational services, employment counseling, and life skills development. Staff assist residents with housing vouchers, social services, and community resources, helping them rebuild financial and personal stability. Spanish-language services ensure accessible care for diverse residents.

Long-Term Reintegration And Peer Support

Recovery continues beyond treatment through mentoring, peer coaching, and community-based support. Discharge planning focuses on connecting residents with housing, employment, and outpatient programs. This integrated model helps residents maintain sobriety, strengthen self-sufficiency, and reintegrate successfully into the New York City community.
