Description

Peter G Young Foundation

Father Young created the Peter G Young Foundation to help the homeless. Often a person, for various reasons, is ineligible to receive medicaid or other public funding, and must fend for themselves.

That's where his foundation can help. Using 100% private donations, Father Young is able to feed and shelter the homeless for whom there is no other help available. Thousands of people have been helped through the years in getting their lives back on track and back into society, becoming law-abiding, productive citizens once more.
A New Beginning

We've all made mistakes. Been down on our luck. Suffered great loss. Life can be tough, even cruel. And a lone turn in the road can change things forever.

Life's trials aren't doled out in equal portions among a population. Rather, these challenges travel on chance winds and land in unlikely places. They tax the strong, but often overwhelm the less fortunate.

For more than four decades, the Peter G Young Foundation has worked effectively to help decent people who have - for one sad reason or another - succumbed to life's pressures. They end up poor, homeless, addicted to drugs or alcohol, or even in prison. But the Foundation's time-tested recovery paradigm has produced amazing results, helping to return more than nine out of ten recipients to honest, productive lives.

Father Peter Young recognized long ago that recovery from addiction or other devastating conditions often requires a three-pronged approach to support: Treatment, Housing, and Employment. Thus, "T.H.E. Program" was born, described by Father Young as a three-legged stool requiring all three support components in order to stand.

Treatment means freeing a person from their addiction or disease so they can focus on building fulfilling lives. Housing rids a person of the pressures and anguish of life on the street. Employment means income, purpose. and independence. Together, the three create an interdependent support dynamic that usually leads to a new beginning. Remove any one, and the success rate drops dramatically.

Join us in supporting this unique program. One turn in the road can change things...forever.

Treatment

820 River Street, Inc. encompasses much of the treatment components of PYHIT. All of the treatment program links on this page are under 820 River Street. The company has over 40 years of experience in the field of addiction and in the area of criminal justice.

Although there are several programs in New York State that offer treatment services for the chemically addicted, 820 River Street is able to integrate with PYHIT's other components of training and housing to give clients a balanced and effective treatment plan. Several links below are also found in the housing link page, since they provide both treatment and housing services.

Housing

Housing is an important leg on the "stool". A person in treatment but who lives on the street cannot be expected to remain sober for long. Likewise, obtaining employment without having a permanent address is nearly impossible.

Clients entering the PYHIT umbrella of programs are immediately placed into supportive or transitional housing. Once their treatment and training are completed, they are usually eligible for one of the many low-cost apartments available throughout New York.

Vocational Assistance

The Altamont Program, Inc. provides a critical role in the rehabilitation of the addicted. Treatment alone is not enough to reintegrate people back into society. Vocational training is essential for clients to obtain and retain jobs once treatment is complete. In the last few years, emphasis has been placed on job training rather than welfare at the state level. This has increased the demand for educational and job training programs, especially when coupled with an overall plan of treatment and supervised housing.
