Service Bus Locations – GNYHA

The Greater New York Hospital Association operates “service and support buses” outside of four city hospitals (and Penn Station) to provide unsheltered individuals with temporary respite from outdoor conditions at night. Staff are on-site at the buses to engage each individual around the range of services available to them.

  • Manhattan

o Penn Station (34th Street + 7th Avenue)

o Bellevue Hospital (E. 30th Street between FDR Drive + 1st Avenue)

  • Queens

o Queens Hospital Center (82-68 164th Street, Jamaica, NY, 11432)

o Elmhurst Hospital Center (79-01 Broadway, Queens, NY, 11373)

  • Bronx

o Lincoln Hospital (234 E. 149th Street, Bronx, NY, 10451)

Holy Apostles – 296 9th Ave New York NY

When they arrive, guests will meet Bruce or Derrick, team members who oversee the Warming Center. Around 8:30PM, guests will travel up to the second floor of the Mission House. The lights stay on until 11PM. Folks sometimes sleep on chairs – sometimes on blankets and sleeping bags, when they’re able to provide them.

At 6am, guests are served breakfast—an egg and meat sandwich, coffee, and a condiment bag with snacks.

Many of the guests at the Warming Center are regulars – they come back most nights when a Cold Blue is called by New York City officials. These guests know each other and the center knows them.

The Department of Homeless Services has a policy called “Code Blue” for winter nights when the temperature drops to 32 degrees or below, including wind-chill, between 4:00 PM and 8:00 AM.

What Changes When Code Blue is in Effect?

On these nights, Department of Homeless Services policies are relaxed to ensure everyone is warm and safe. This includes:

  • Drop-in centers are required to take as many clients as possible, within the Department of Buildings restrictions.
  • Anyone in need of a place to go can walk into single adult or family shelters, without undergoing typical intake and eligibility procedures, for the night in question.
  • Clients can access any shelter, not just their assigned shelter, for the night in question.
  • More outreach teams will be on the streets to offer services and shelter.
  • No shelter suspensions or sanctions can be carried out on these dates. Clients who have been sanctioned can return to the shelter for the night in question, if necessary.
