Brooklyn, New York's most populated borough has been a hotbed of art and cultural activity for decades. But it's the art of fashion that's key for the success of the Brooklyn Community Housing and Service's fifth annual Fashion on Fulton & Friends event. The (BCHS) is committed to ending homelessness in Brooklyn. And with the help of Brooklyn's independent fashion designers, the BCHS is making strides to end homelessness for young mothers and chronically homeless people who struggle with mental illness, and low-income. "It's been a very busy and exciting year for the agency, and we are about to enter a period of significant growth", claims Executive Director Jeff Nemetsky. "We launched a successful new program where we now provide specialized services for ex-offenders returning to the community and geriatric services for our older residents. We are planning a groundbreaking new program which, when implemented, should be one of the largest homelessness prevention initiatives in the country; serving over 1,000 people each year." BCHS has helped thousands who were in crisis achieve independence during the last 27 years, and they are ready to help thousands more; until the day that homelessness no longer exist. Until the day our communities are as socially rich, and as economically vital, as possible.
