Horizon House

Tax deductible
Horizon Hearts mission is to provide services, advocacy and education to underserved communities in the greater NYC metropolitan area.  Our main focus is the needs of at-risk youth and homeless individuals. 

Horizon Hearts, Inc., a nonprofit organization, has an exciting opportunity to open a shelter for homeless women and children, Horizon House.  We want to create a program that does more than provide temporary emergency housing, but equips residents with the skills and resources to live independently for the long term.   

Young adults at Horizon House will also participate in our current music and communications workshops. These workshops, conducted in partnership with Damatrix Studios Network and Lincoln Hospital, provide youth with hands on experience working with professionals in music, radio and technical production. 

 Our longer term goal is to add complementary programs including job readiness training; proving employment experience; job placement assistance; and case management support. We have foundation and community resource options once Horizon House is in operation.   

We just need to get started! Our immediate need is for start-up funds to get the Horizon House shelter up and running.  Once the shelter is operational, state and county funds will support the on-going basic costs.  We are reaching out to community and religious groups and corporations to help with things like furniture and kitchen items. But, some items require cash. Our start-up costs include things like deposit for utilities and rental space, staff training, office and program supplies and insurance, as well as the linens, furniture and food not provided through in-kind donations.

We know we can do this.  We have the skills and experience to create and operate an effective program for underserved families and youths. Victor Seltzer, PhD, has over 20 years of experience managing and directing programs for homeless youth, families and people with HIV.  Tommy Thomson, MSW, MPH, also has over 20 years of social work management and supervisory experience, as well as experience in program design and evaluation.  As financial pressure on lower income individuals and families increases, we are seeing the numbers of homeless rise.  With our many years of experience in this field, we have the skills and commitment necessary to make a difference.      

 Horizon Hearts is a not-for-profit corporation, 501(c ) 3,  and all donations are tax deductible.

 Please help us bring shelter and opportunity to the women and families of our community!
