Long Island Coalition for the Homeless

Long Island Coalition for the Homeless (LICH) brings together community partners to address homelessness and connect individuals and families with practical support. Its work includes housing-focused case management, a helpline for navigating resources, and referrals to housing programs dedicated to people experiencing homelessness.

Through its Coordinated Entry process, LICH helps people experiencing homelessness connect with appropriate housing and related services. The organization also provides direct support and street outreach, including assistance for people in shelter or living unsheltered. Its Safe Options Support program uses mobile, person-centered outreach and transition support to help people facing barriers to accessing housing.

People seeking broader help can review NHREA’s homeless assistance resources in New York and federal assistance resources. Visit LICH’s official website to learn more and confirm current program details.
