How We Help
For 25 years, Barrier Free Living (BFL) has been in the business of helping people with disabilities to help themselves.
At our Transitional Housing facility, our priority is to ensure that our residents learn the skills necessary to live independently.
We offer our residents:
• money-management workshops
• a savings-account program
• independent living skills workshops
Our goal is to help our residents to become truly integrated, productive members of society.
Who We Serve
For access to Transitional Housing services, all prospective residents must be referred through the New York City Department of Homeless Services (DHS). For information, visit the DHS website at www.ny.gov/dhs.
Prospective residents must have a disability that requires home attendant services and must be enrolled in community Medicaid. Referrals by hospitals to BFL must be made through the NYC Department of Homeless Service’s Program Review Unit. Please call 212-361-0579 for more information.
