No the rescue mission is n not your answer. What you need to do is apply for PATH at the DHS intake center on East 30th Street off of 1st Ave. PATH is the division in DHS that houses families will children. If you bring all of the proper documentation with you and show up early enough in the day, there is a good chance you will be placed on the same day.
Call the ny coalition for the homeless...they will help you. This Mission does not take kids...good luck
