Homes For the Homeless

Jamaica’s need for stable housing solutions persists year-round. Homes For the Homeless operates at 175-15 Rockaway Boulevard, a stretch of storefronts and transit hubs where the borough’s daily rhythms never slow. Shelters in this part of Queens often double as resource hubs, offering more than temporary beds to individuals and families navigating displacement.

Emergency intake, case management, and referrals to job training programs are part of the routine here. Staff coordinate with city agencies to secure longer-term housing vouchers, while on-site childcare and after-school tutoring keep younger residents engaged. The address—175-15 Rockaway Blvd, Jamaica, NY 11434—places the shelter within walking distance of bus routes and the Jamaica Center subway station, a practical detail for anyone arriving without transportation.

Questions about eligibility or intake hours can be directed to (718) 244-0670. For directions, a map is available at this link.
