"Pathways, a private nonprofit organization launched in 1992, plucks homeless people off New York City's streets and gets them directly into their own apartments. Residents contribute one-third of their income toward the cost of rent and Pathways picks up the rest.

The residents are surrounded by counselors and other experts who visit them at least once a week and help them get behavioral treatment and jobs. Such services, however, are offered only if the client asks for them."
