Since it's founding, the speakers bureau has provided hundreds of women and men who have been homeless the opportunity share their powerful personal testimony of homelessness and recovery with many thousands of concerned adults and children.

In 1989, the Interfaith Assembly, in partnership with New York Catholic Charities developed the 12-week, 24-session Education Outreach Program (EOP) to assist homeless adults to recover from the trauma associated with their homelessness and be re-integrated into their community. Participants are drawn from city shelters, drop-in centers, therapeutic communities and transitional housing programs. These classes are now offered twice a year to classes of up to 15 individuals through New York Catholic Charities and St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church.
