We would like to extend a special thanks to the following congregations and organizations who make our work possible through extensive financial support. Their continued support allows us to continue helping the homeless population of New York City and our goal of ending chronic homelessness.

The Interfaith Assembly grew out of a series of conversations in the mid 1980's among concerned New Yorkers of various faiths and backgrounds who believed that our common values called us to challenge all people of good will to address the growing crisis of homelessness on moral and spiritual grounds. Provided with office space by the Cathedral of St. John Divine, the group began to organize activities designed to draw attention to the issue of homelessness and call for public action.

The Interfaith Assembly on Homelessness and Housing is a coalition of religious organizations and individuals working with and on behalf of homeless, poorly housed, and at-risk individuals. A not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization, The Assembly was founded in 1986 at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in New York City.
