Many of these resources are known as Family Assistance on Long Island. These various assistance programs are generally provided to families and individuals who are experiencing some form of financial crisis and turn to St. Vincent for help. Generally, the members of the Nassau and Suffolk County community who receive assistance from the charity need a one-time payment to help with overdue rent, an unpaid utility bill, a medical cost or some other financial obligation that they cannot honor.

However, Conferences may choose to help with any financial or other need that they encounter. The financial aid and support that St. Vincent provides to the needy helps the individual or family through a difficult period. They can get help maintaining their dignity despite their circumstances.

A short term transitional and emergency housing program for the homeless is known as Anthony House. While an individual stays at the center they will be able to sign up for and be exposed to St. Vincent programs, case management and more. Some employment assistance may be provided as well.

Free beds and linens may be offered by the St. Vincent Sweet Dreams Bed Program. Assistance is for qualified families and individuals so that they may receive new, clean beds free of charge. The Sweet Dreams program on Log Island is very flexible in that beds can be provided to an entire family or one person. This will be partly determined based on the case worker’s recommendation as well as the individuals need.

The Society of Saint Vincent has free furniture banks as well as clothing closets that give out many of those items, such as the beds, mattresses and linens. For people who want to donate goods, volunteers of the parishes may pick them up (within reason). Any furniture items are gently used, and find free furniture near you.
