Homeless Services
Long Island Adult and Family Shelters
Madonna Heights provides emergency housing for homeless women and adolescents, some with children.

Locations are scattered throughout Suffolk County, Long Island.

Our Gatehouse Residence provides shelter for an especially vulnerable group – homeless young women between the ages of 16-21. We provide temporary housing as we help these young women return home or transition to a longer-term residential setting.
