	Crossroads opened in 1988 as a two-year, 17-bed program for chronically homeless and mentally ill men. Funding was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for several years. In 1997, the Rescue Mission merged Crossroads with New Hope Adult Home, a 34-bed facility that was the first adult home of its kind in New York. Crossroads has that same license but is no longer transitional. Men may live at Crossroads as long as it is considered desirable or appropriate.
