Seafarers International House (SIH) is a civic and social organization founded in 1873 by the Augustana Lutheran Church to serve Swedish seafarers and immigrants, and it became an affiliated mission of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America in 1987. It operates as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) not-for-profit that identifies as a sanctuary organization welcoming the stranger, governed by a national board with donor support across the United States. SIH provides pastoral care, hospitality, social assistance, and advocacy to a multi-national and multi-faith community across maritime ports on the Eastern Seaboard—Baltimore, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Philadelphia—and maintains an 84-room guesthouse in New York City. The organization is headquartered at 123 East 15th Street, New York, NY 10003, and employs between 11 and 50 people. In 2026, SIH engaged Kajima Building & Design Group as general contractor for a project at 18 Vesey Street and announced investments in real estate assets to align its facilities with long-term operational needs.
