HOMEMAKING PROGRAM

This year, Selfhelp provided nearly 600,000 hours of child-focused home care enabling at-risk families to stay together.

Our concerned and involved homemakers can even pick up your children at school and assist them with their homework.

Our Homemaking Program is funded by the New York City Human Resources Administration (HRA) and through contracts with New York City’s Administration for Children’s Services and the HIV/AIDS Services Administration. We receive referrals from the Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) and the HIV/AIDS Services Administration (HASA).
