Delancey Street Foundation

The Delancy Street Foundation was founded by Mimi Silbert and John Maher in 1971.  It is considered the nation's leading self-help residential education center for former substance abusers and ex-convicts. Over 14,000 of society’s former misfits and castaways have graduated from Delancey. More than 90% of them successfully complete the program and go on to lead law-abiding lives. They currently have residents located in five facilities throughout the country: New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. If the best of us care for and believe in the least of us, hope reigns—as on Delancey Street.
