Delancey Street is considered the country's leading residential self-help organization for substance abusers, ex-convicts, homeless and others who have hit bottom. Their average resident has been a hard-core drug addict for sixteen years, abusing alcohol and multiple drugs and has dropped out of school at the 7th grade and has been institutionalized several times. Many have been gang members; most have been trapped in poverty for several generations. Rather than hire experts to help the people with problems, they decided to run Delancey Street with no staff and no funding. Like a large family, their residents must learn to develop their strengths and help each other.
