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 10,300 homeless people
The City’s plan to house migrants in hotels through 2025 to the tune of $2.3 billion is a massive misstep. It’s time to embrace real solutions, like expanding CityFHEPS, which would put more families in permanent homes and save the City billions.

As a frontline provider, we urge the City to end its cruel 30- and 60-day shelter limits, which will destabilize tens of thousands of lives. Instead, the City should invest in expanding capacity for experienced social service and shelter providers to support new arrivals.
This October, as we observe #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth, it’s vital to recognize the links between domestic violence, homelessness, and the ongoing fight for housing justice.
