Care for the Homeless operates an open access system to meet the needs of its clients. Clients do not need advance appointments to be seen and are able to walk into the clinics for same day appointments. Services are provided regardless of patients' age or ability to pay.
The acute need for primary health care services is evident when one sees that health-related issues are often a precipitating cause of homelessness. Homelessness, in turn, greatly exacerbates the effect of acute and chronic health deficits. Homelessness and health influence each other. Not only are behavioral and primary health care issues a causative factor in homelessness, but the lack of domicile, and the trauma that condition induces, negatively impact health.
Adult Services
Care for the Homeless reaches out to adults who have not been effectively engaged or retained in outpatient treatment. If these needs are unmet, there will be increasingly high rates of chronic, disabling, and/or life-threatening health conditions (hypertension, asthma, HIV/AIDS, liver disease).
Pediatric Services
Children in homeless families have high rates of acute and chronic health problems. Care for the Homeless provides services that can alleviate physical and mental health problems.
Oral Health Care
Many homeless individuals do not assign importance to preventive care and only seek dental services when they are in pain. Care for the Homeless is working hard to address the woeful gap in oral health care services amongst its homeless clientele.
HIV Services
Care for the Homeless understands the challenges in providing homeless health care, especially to clients with HIV/AIDS.
LGBTQ Services
Care for the Homeless provides quality, comprehensive services delivered with respect and cultural competence to LGBTQ youth.

This Health Center is based Sliding scale fees which are variable prices for products, services, or taxes based on a customer's ability to pay. Such fees are thereby reduced for those who have lower incomes, or alternatively, less money to spare after their personal expenses, regardless of income.
Since this is a sliding fee scale clinic, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Queens Health Center Site website listed above to see what the level is needed for free care.

*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get legal aid from some offices, they use a sliding fee scale.
When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
