When temperatures climb closer to 100°F, life on the streets can go from unbearable to deadly. When the predicted heat index reaches 95°F or higher, the City of New York declares a “CODE RED”. During a Code Red, the BronxWorks Homeless Outreach Team will be working hard to help our most vulnerable neighbors get off the streets and into shelter.

Designated cooling centers are open during a CODE RED all around New York City and the Bronx. If you are living without air conditioning and need a place to cool down contact 311 or click here to find a cooling center near you. Please check on your neighbors, especially the elderly and sick. Cooling centers are open and available to the public. More info

Our case manager assists seniors with obtaining restraining orders, accompanies them to court, and helps get them whatever additional assistance they need while working closely with the police, the Bronx District Attorney’s office, and Adult Protective Services.

The case manager is also part of a Multi-Discipline Task force which offers an array of supportive services to victims of crime.
