In 1991, HELP USA opened WestHELP Greenburgh in White Plains, New York. WestHELP Greenburgh is transitional housing for approximately 108 homeless families with preschool age children, comprised of 75 percent single mothers and 50 percent children.
The program's objective is to enable residents to develop independent living skills and to assist them in locating permanent housing.
On-site Programs include: medical care, day care, substance abuse treatment; GED classes; employment training and placement; social services; mental health care; and housing placement assistance.
HELP USA in conjunction with the architects achieved community support for the project by involving the area residents in the process. In keeping with the largely low-scale adjacent communities; the materials are comprised of wood shingles and white trim. Large landscaped open spaces and ample common rooms provide for a sense of community within the complex.
