About HeartShare St. Vincent's Services
For 150 years, HeartShare St. Vincent's Services (HSVS) has worked to equalize opportunities for those who need it most.
The agency was founded in 1869 as a home for young working boys—many of whom had no family or had families too poor to care for them. Since then, we have continued to expand our services (and footprint) to meet the evolving needs of children and families within NYC.
Today, we are 450 staff members strong, serving over 6,000 New Yorkers each year. Operating across every borough of the city, we provide a comprehensive and holistic set of programming for both children and family dealing with a range of trauma related to family separation.
OUR KEY DIVISIONS

Residential + Housing Programs
Residential and Housing Programs provide safe homes for those most in need. Our clients, given the security they sense in a safe, caring and stable living environment, combined with targeted support services, are empowered to overcome the challenges in their lives.
Youth Development + Community Programs
Youth Development and Community Programs, serving over 2,800, educate and nurture youth to empower them as they develop into successful adults. Through innovative services, we encourage our clients who participate in our community programs and our youth in foster care to develop positive and constructive relationships, expand their experiences and achieve their dreams.
Our acclaimed American Dream Program (ADP) is within this Division. As a privately funded program,
ADP provides education and emotional support, as well as career advancement programming to
empower older youth to overcome their personal challenges and to excel as adults. The program helps them find their own paths, make plans and develop the skills to take on the challenges of careers, education, finances and adult responsibilities with energy and confidence.
