Improving the lives of NYC’s women and children for over 40 years
Win provides safe housing and critical services to help homeless women and their children rebuild their lives and break the cycle of homelessness.
Last year, Win served over 12,400 people
The BABY Benefit proposal, set to be the nation’s first statewide pre- and post-natal cash allowance program, is a powerful step forward in supporting low-income parents. https://gothamist.com/news/kathy-hochul-tax-cuts-state-of-state
Like Win's Growing Strong program, families will receive direct cash transfers to ensure financial stability during pregnancy and infancy. Cash support during these stages is shown to be effective at reducing poverty and improving child well-being. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/prenatal-and-infant-cash-prescriptions-to-eradicate-deep-infant-poverty-united-states/
A big win for Win moms and families across New York! Thanks to @GovKathyHochul for championing this innovative policy!
Win is proud to have worked with the @NYHomeless and other partner groups to develop these crucial recommendations to help the more than 50,000 new arrivals currently in New York City’s shelter system transition from shelter into permanent housing and long-term stability.
Win applauds @NYCMayor & @NYCDSSCommr for their pilot program aimed at reducing the number of babies born into & living in shelter. Helping expectant families transition from temporary to permanent housing is a great step forward in breaking the cycle of homelessness!
