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
On Wednesday, Win's Director of Policy and Research, Jade Vasquez, testified before the @NYCCouncil Committee on Finance on the FY27 Executive Budget, outlining key investments needed to address family homelessness across NYC.

Her testimony called for full implementation of the CityFHEPS expansion, investment in supportive housing preservation and mental health services in family shelters, expanded workforce development programming, & stronger support for immigrant families and human services workers.
Thank you, @SpeakerMenin, for prioritizing CityFHEPS in the FY27 Budget. CityFHEPS is one of NYC's most effective tools for reducing homelessness & helping families secure permanent housing. We appreciate your leadership & commitment to expanding access to this critical program.
Thank you, @SpeakerMenin, for prioritizing CityFHEPS in the FY27 Budget.
CityFHEPS vouchers can transform lives & stabilize communities— we can't close a budget deal without a meaningful expansion.
Let’s get this to the finish line.
It's been 493 days since New Yorkers were promised a more accessible #CityFHEPS program by Mayor @ZohranKMamdani on the campaign trail, and 79 days since the City's appeal challenging the program's expansion.
The cost to taxpayers is clear:
- A CityFHEPS housing voucher costs approximately $54 per night.
- A night in a Win shelter costs approximately $300.
Win's analysis found that if the CityFHEPS expansion had been implemented when it became law in 2023, New York City could have saved $1 billion. Delaying access to housing is costing taxpayers more while families remain stuck in shelter. https://winnyc.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/The-Cost-of-Inaction-Policy-Report-1.pdf #CityFHEPSNOW
