HeartShare St. Vincent's Services

For over 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

Foster Care + Preventative Services
HSVS strengthens families in times of crises. We collaborate with parents and provide the tools and skills necessary to build loving, happy family environments in which children and youth thrive.

Integrated Health Services
HSVS provides skills-based therapy and healthcare management to empower individuals to achieve wellness. We guide those in our care to strengthen their family and social relationships, achieve personal goals and contribute more meaningfully to their communities.

Residential + Housing Programs
HSVS provides safe homes for those most in need—for as long as necessary. Our clients, given targeted support services and security in a caring and stable living environment, are empowered to overcome the challenges in their lives.

Youth Development + Community Programs
HSVS encourages our children and youth 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.

In This Together

Stronger Together is the theme of the 2021 HeartShare St. Vincent’s Services Annual Benefit and that’s because if there’s one thing we’ve never doubted in these uncertain times it’s that we are better, smarter and, yes, stronger together. Join us for an evening celebrating our work, our supporters and our community in one of New York’s most iconic spaces, The View at The Battery, with views of New York Harbor, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.
