Lantern Community Services is a homeless services non-profit that helps people who are formerly homeless or have recently aged out of foster care rebuild their lives. We do this through our supportive housing program, which is based on the latest evidence of what provides the most benefit to our clients. Our programs deal with health, employment, education, and life skills and are delivered inside our residences. We have locations in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Upper Manhattan.
Every year, we get amazing volunteer photographers to come to some of our buildings and take pictures of the families that live there. These pictures are cherished by our residents. If you're interested in helping us out by taking some pictures, get in touch!
