Lantern Community Services

About Lantern Community Services

Lantern Community Services' mission is to champion the independence and well-being of New Yorkers who are impacted by or threatened with homelessness.

Lantern provides innovative services to help New Yorkers who are formerly homeless or have recently aged out of foster care recreate their lives. Many of our clients live with mental illness, addiction, disability, HIV or other chronic illnesses, and we provide them with the tools they need to integrate successfully into the greater community with dignity and independence.

The programs we use encourage the best possible outcomes for the low-income and formerly homeless people we serve, and are proven effective in helping diverse groups of people improve their health and economic security. To promote our clients’ well-being and independence, we deliver services in four core program areas, using evidence-based practices to achieve the best possible outcomes: (1) health and wellness; (2) nutrition and culinary arts; (3) employment and educational services; and (4) arts, culture, and fitness. We invest in rigorous staff training, program monitoring, evaluation, and quality improvement activities across the board.
