Rows and rows of couches, chairs and dressers, plus a big box of trophies and a life-size kangaroo statue, all sit in a Sunnyside warehouse.
The furniture, which otherwise would have wound up in a landfill, is patiently awaiting dropoff to new owners — people experiencing homelessness who are moving off the streets into their own housing.
The furniture belongs to On the House Furniture Bank and its associated junk-hauling company, Furnishing Hope Junk Removal, which opened for business Wednesday.
The initiative aims to fill a gap in homelessness resolution, helping people coming off the streets furnish apartments for free.
