Project Renewal In 2005, Project Renewal continued to expand its comprehensive core programs while also pioneering new initiatives to help homeless New Yorkers to get off the streets forever with health, homes and jobs. This year for the first time we began working with homeless youth by launching a unique healthcare-clinic-on-wheels we call StreetSmart. Estimates put the number of homeless young New Yorkers aged 15–25 at 15,000 to 40,000. StreetSmart, like our highly successful MedVan, provides quality primary, preventive, mental health and urgent healthcare to people living on the streets and in shelters, all carefully tailored to the needs and culture of homeless youth. Also like our MedVan, StreetSmart acts as a doorway through which homeless youth can access the other services they need to escape homelessness, including treatment, housing and employment. Also in 2005, we expanded our leadership in a federal initiative to end chronic homelessness with a 50% growth in our one-of-a-kind In Homes Now program. This program places the “hardest-to-help” homeless adults — people whose substance abuse problems prevent them from getting off the streets or out of shelters— into their own apartments where a team of professionals visits them regularly, providing health, counseling, and vocational services. If this program continues to be successful, it will serve as a national model in helping difficult-to-reach homeless addicts. This year we were also given the go-ahead to build desperately needed housing for 100 more homeless New Yorkers. One side of this unique U-shaped apartment complex will provide supportive housing for 50 mentally ill New Yorkers; the other will provide transitional housing, work and treatment for 50 New Yorkers in recovery from addiction. Our accomplishments this year were made possible by strong partnerships with the public sector and by generous gifts from individual, corporate, and foundation supporters. We are grateful for the passion and commitment of our supporters who share our vision of an end to homelessness in New York City. As the following stories document, Project Renewal is making a powerful difference.

“I had chosen and attempted suicide.”
I’ve always been the funny one—to get attention, to get approval, trying to fit in. So even though I was an excellent student, I also smoked marijuana and drank throughout high school. What that meant was that I got a scholarship to Hofstra a year early—at 17—but also ended up getting kicked out a year later. From there it went from bad to worse—serious drug addiction, illegal activities, a seemingly endless cycle of homelessness, jail, homelessness, jail. Eventually I became overwhelmed with living the horrendous lifestyle I had chosen and attempted suicide. My family came to the hospital to show their love and support even though we'd been completely estranged for years. My mother sat by me for the three days I was in a coma—the doctors had told her that if I lived, I'd be a vegetable.
When I awoke, I cursed my higher power for making me face life again. As soon as I grew stronger I left the hospital, not giving my family any idea of where I had gone. One year later, I was homeless again. I returned back to the shelter system, where I stayed for another 3 years in and out. It was at this time, that I met Ms. Barbara Hughes, Executive Chef Instructor and Director of a pilot culinary arts program. At the time, I thought I wanted to be a chef. I completed the classroom and went on to do my internship at Fordham University cafeteria. What I learned from Barbara Hughes and Project Renewal was to learn to love myself no matter what I had done in the past. Barbara Hughes was the first person who I felt truly believed and cared about me without conditions. She gave
me the chance that I had stopped giving myself. She fueled my desire to stand up and make something out of my life. Barbara encouraged me by telling me that I could change my future if I truly believed in myself and didn't stayed bound by my past. Her encouragement and guidance is what spurred me to begin to get my life together. April 28, 1995 was the last time I used any mind or mood altering substance. Instead of becoming a chef, I decided to train to become a counselor. Today I am the Senior Case Manager of Project Renewal's Culinary Arts Training Program. I help those that are in the position that I once was in. It is always an honor and a privilege to be an intricate part of someone's choice to start their lives anew. We make a living by what we get, however, we make a life by what we give!! I always encourage my clients with positive encouragement just like I received from Barbara Hughes and Project Renewal. I also coach a softball team of women in recovery and sit on the board of another recovery agency. I have just graduated with HONORS (GPA 3.88), with my BA in psychology from the College of New Rochelle; I had been on the Dean's list eight times; yes, an ex-offending, crackhead like me.
I intend to apply for the master’s program with Hunter College to pursue a double major in Social Work and Public Administration. I owe a lot of my success to the encouragement that I received from Barbara Hughes and Project Renewal. Without it, I would not have taken the time to realize the good inside of me. God bless you and thanks for reading.
“I ended up homeless in New York.”
Lee Martin
I grew up in Georgia and New Jersey, one of four kids raised by my mother and grandmother—we started in Georgia, then moved to Jersey. I had been an honor roll student when I first got to high school in Jersey but also became a terrible troublemaker and got thrown out of school in eleventh grade. I went back down to Georgia and worked cutting Georgia pine, but I was pretty much of a nomad and even though I worked, started doing more and more partying. Eventually I moved back to New Jersey but the partying had gotten out of hand and I ended up homeless in New York.
In the shelter, I came upon Project Renewal. I got off drugs at Third Street and everything started from there. I put in for this education thing: I got my GED—which I’d been wanting to do for a long long time. I got training in computers—because I was like illiterate without computer skills. Then I went into the Culinary Arts Training Program, including the baking training. That was great: A week after I finished my internship I got a job at One if By Land, Two if by Sea, worked my way up to pastry supervisor there in the three years I was there. Then worked at Gustavino for a year as a banquet cook. Now I’m working as assistant pastry chef at Citicorp’s corporate dining room. I like it: In fine dining there was a lot of screaming. Here, I work the night shift and I have the whole kitchen to myself. Plus, there’s so much to do, the night just flies by. Project Renewal turned my whole life around. They did everything for me. My whole attitude has changed. I’ve
become a better person. Even though I never lost touch with my family, they’re all SO happy that I found myself. I didn’t see my two daughers Leeah and Leesa for four years. Now I see them every weekend. The eldest one, I’m really tight with her. People say, boy you must really love her everytime I see you, you’re always together. One day, she tried to act mad at me, wouldn’t give me a kiss goodbye, so I left. A minute later she’s crying her head off because I didn’t kiss her goodbye. I’m trying to teach them how to cook. So far, they’re just really good at eating, especially sweet potato pie. Couple of Thanksgivings ago, we had to drag Leeah out of the kitchen, she wouldn’t stop eating it. I see them just about every weekend; they come to my place in New York. That’s another thing— Project Renewal helped me find my apartment. And it’s big too. I come back to Culinary Arts every Tuesday and tutor in baking. I bring the terminology down to them. Like if I say, what’s roux to people in the hood, they have no idea what I’m talking about. But if I say, how do you make gravy after you fry pork chops, they know: they put flour in the grease that’s left in the pan. I tell them, that’s roux—50% fat, 50% thickener.
The people I taught, I run into them later and they’re happy. They’re self-sufficient. They can pay income tax. They’re part of society. It just feels good.

“I was hospitalized for two and a half years suffering from schizophrenia.”
To whom it may concern: Although we have been living in California for the past six years and have not had as much contact with our son John as we would have wished, our other two boys are constantly in New York and are in touch with their brother. They keep us informed of his progress. And of course, as you can imagine, our telephone bill is quite high. For a boy who was hospitalized for two and a half years suffering from schizophrenia, John has come a long way thanks to the help from Project Renewal. On a recent trip that we took to New York in order to see John, we were amazed and delighted by the vast improvement has made in attitude, appearance, and many other traits. First of all, John has graduated from Culinary Arts School. Think of the dedication that it must have taken to arise each morning at 6:00 am and travel to school during the harsh winter of 2005. As far as we know, he never missed a day and now is the proud possessor of a Food Handlers Certificate.
In March of this year, John achieved one of his ultimate goals by moving in to his own studio apartment that he maintains by himself, something that he would have been incapable of when we left for
California six years ago and he became a resident of Project Renewal. And, finally, he is now working steadily at the law firm of Anderson, Kell and Olick which he thoroughly enjoys. Thanks for all the help and support you have given to him. Sincerely, Ed and Jean Sarnoff

“I was living in a cardboard box under th the bridge at 125 Street.”
I always knew I had it in me to make something of my life. Now, I’m doing it. I grew up in the Bronx with three sisters and a brother but got sent to live with my dad in Puerto Rico when I was ten because I got into gangs and trouble. I lived there for eight years and came back to New York when I was 18 to live with my mom. I did well: I had a job at a printing company, I got married, had a daughter.
Then I started using, and in less than two years I had lost everything: my wife, my family, my home. Essentially stayed homeless for the next sixteen years. Came close to going to jail, but something always saved me. For a long time, I was living in a cardboard box under the bridge at 125th Street. Eventually, when I was 39, I went to my youngest sister—the one who’d always told me, I could do better—and said, “I give up.” She gave me a token and the next day I went to the hospital to get off drugs and a week later I went to Renewal House. I had an awakening. The desire to get clean was very very strong in me. I changed everything. I changed the way I walk, the way I brush my teeth. I wanted to master EVERYTHING; I was so hungry for life. When I was ready to graduate, Project Renewal got me an apartment and got me ready for employment. And I got the very first job I applied for, even though there were a lot of guys trying for it. I CLAIMED the job as mine I just went in there and said,
“When do you want me to start?” I became employee of the month right away. Not long after, I was offered a management position. But there were also challenges: now that I was being responsible, I had a lot of responsibilities. I owed a lot of money—child support, school loans. At one point I got a week’s paycheck and all I had left was $14. But I continued going strong—I figured if I could survive living in a box under a bridge, I could survive anything. At one point, there was a fire in my apartment and I lost everything. I told myself: “I’ll feel sad about this today but tomorrow, I’ll wake up and start fresh and never look back.” After all, I have a job, I’m clean and I’m alive. And two days later, when I went back into work, I found that my co-workers had all chipped in to help me get back on my feet: there was $2000 waiting there for me.
Every day new things came to me; today I’m working in Manhattan at Victoria’s Secret—I’ve had six raises in two years. And I’m studying for my Real Estate license. Best of all, I’m very close with my family now. I have three daughters 24, 20 and 7 and they all live near me. I see my youngest all the time—she says she wants to be a leader like me. That’s the thing I’m proudest of, that she can say that. I got another chance at life and Project Renewal was a big part of that. I’m very grateful.
“I came to realize that anywhere I went, there I was, the same addict.” Harold Rosario
There is hope. My name is Harold Rosario and I grew up in the drug-infested streets of New York City. Dysfunctional home? That’s an understatement. My father was an addict and my mother a heavy gambler. My brother and sister practically raised me, whenever they were around.
I basically grew up in the streets. Drug dealers, pimps, hoodlums and bookies were my role models. At the age of nine I was delivering packages for dealers on the block and in a gang called The Baby Kings of Spanish Harlem. I began to steal to prove my loyalty. Smoking weed and drinking hard booze were my rewards. By my early teens I was shooting heroin and got thrown out of my house. I dropped out of high school to work in a factory to support my habit. I lived in an abandoned building in the Bronx for two years. Subways in the winter and parks in the summer. Programs and jail is where I spent most of life. I tried to move out of New York to see if things would change for me. I came to realize that anywhere I went, there I was, the same addict. After a stay at Rikers I ended up at Wards Island shelter. As I lay in bed I started to cry and called out to God, “please help me.” Before I knew it, I was being transferred to Project Renewal (Renewal Farm). My first reaction was, “I’m not going upstate,”
because I identified upstate with prison. But I was wrong: the clients and staff welcomed me as if I belonged there. I became involved with groups and started to work on myself. Everyday that I worked in the fields I took a good look at where my addictions led me. I came to realize that if I wanted to find my purpose in life, I needed to do what ever it takes to renew my life. Today I am a counselor at Renewal Farm and live nearby with my family. My wife is ever so grateful to Project Renewal for getting her husband back and my two boys are showing me the true meaning of fatherhood. Today I get high watching my kids growing up, doing things I never had the chance to do. I never knew that playing football in the rain was so much fun! My mother still worries about me because she’s never really seen me sober. Every now and then I look to the sky and I can feel my father smiling at me; one of the last things he told me before he died was, “I just want you to be the man I always hoped to be.”
I have the privilege of working with men who are very much like the man I used to be. And I am planning to return to school to become a social worker. Today I have hope, I have dreams, I have purpose in life and most of all I have the love and respect of my family and friends. And I thank Project Renewal.
How we get it done.
