The Long Island Coalition for the Homeless hosts " Back Pack Pirates Summer Festival", a one-day summer camp experience for up to 450 children from homeless shelters. This full-day event gives children the opportunity to participate in sports, arts & crafts, learn archery, go on treasure hunts, have their faces painted and much more! In addition to an incredible camp experience and brand new back packs, we provide the children with new school clothing and shoes. Visit our website to watch the New 12 feature of Back Pack Pirates from 2015!
We need your help to make the day an adventure the children will never forget!

Mission Statement
The mission of the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless, Inc. is to eliminate homelessness on Long Island and improve the lives of Long Islanders who are homeless or facing homelessness.
Description
Originally founded as the Nassau-Suffolk Partnership for the Homeless in 1985, the purpose of the coalition has expanded to include the coordination of homeless services provided by more than 125 agencies through the development of the Continuum of Care groups in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Since 1995, LICH has also coordinated applications to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for homeless funding. LICH's successful coordination of the Continuum of Care applications have resulted in over $10 million in funding each year. LICH has also provided technical assistance to organizations in Nassau and Suffolk Counties whose services do not meet the criteria for HUD funding, but are essential for meeting the needs of the homeless.
