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
Today is day 471 since @ZohranKMamdani pledged to expand CityFHEPS & day 57 since the City moved to delay the law’s rollout through the courts. Every day of delay means fewer available exits from shelter into stable housing. New Yorkers are still waiting. #CityFHEPSNOW
Programs that support students experiencing homelessness matter, but they cannot succeed without addressing root causes. In NYC alone, more than 154,000 students experienced homelessness last school year, highlighting the urgent need for lasting solutions.
As @ChrisCQuinn shared, transportation gaps, shelter placements far from schools, & limited support make attendance a struggle for too many children. The impact is clear: 75% of students living in shelters lack reading proficiency, and more than one-third do not graduate on time.
Every student deserves stable housing and the support needed to succeed. That means placing families closer to schools, expanding reliable transportation, increasing school and shelter-based support staff, and ensuring access to permanent housing.
Shelter stays continue while the CityFHEPS expansion remains tied up instead of fully carried out. Today marks day 470 since @ZohranKMamdani pledged to expand and implement CityFHEPS and day 56 since the appeal seeking to block the law from taking effect. #CityFHEPSNOW
