How I made this map

This independent map brings together 21 public service access points from NYC’s official directories: eight adult drop-in centers, five shelter intake locations, and eight youth drop-in centers.

What the lines mean

For each service, I calculated the straight-line distance to every station in the MTA subway and Staten Island Railway dataset and kept the nearest. The open circle marks the station centroid; the filled endpoint marks the service address. These are proximity links, not walking routes. Bus stops, entrances, crossings, step-free access and current service changes are not included.

Before visiting

Drop-in centers offer services and referrals; a point is not a promise of an overnight bed. Intake centers handle shelter applications for specific household groups. Youth centers serve ages 14–24; their hours vary. Check the official page or call the provider before travel. No “open now” or live bed-availability claim is made.

Location and currency

Official directories were checked November 2, 2026. Points use U.S. Census address interpolation and mark approximate street locations, not surveyed entrances. Existing adult-center coordinates were cross-checked against NYC Open Data; differences were at most 0.05 miles. NYC311’s current hours take precedence over older Open Data comments. Two intake addresses reflect August 2026 relocations. An older youth-directory page was not used.

Coverage and credits

This is a directory of the publicly listed access points in these sources, not all NYC shelters or a measure of neighborhood need. Confidential sites and individual people are not mapped. Rail distance does not establish how easy a service is to reach. The two endpoints represent recorded locations, not verified entrances. Boroughs: NYC Department of City Planning.
