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
We’re grateful to @CMAlexaAviles and the Legendary Muscle Cars Club for bringing joy to families at our South Slope shelters this holiday season. ❤️
Together, they donated toys for kids and hand-assembled self-care gift bags for moms—making sure all 135 families felt celebrated.
Win commends @NYCCouncil for overriding the mayor’s vetoes. This action safeguards #CityFHEPS, a program that helps 1000s of families—including Win clients—secure and maintain stable housing. Protecting these resources is essential for ensuring housing stability for all NYers.
BREAKING: The Council has voted to override @nycmayor's vetoes of INT 1372, INT 982-A, INT 984-A, and INT 1248-B. These bills protect CityFHEPS recipients from rent hikes, strengthen pay equity and reporting, and codify the existing @NYCMOCS to improve City procurement.
Yesterday at City Hall, we brought a life-sized board game to show what NYC families face when trying to use a housing voucher. The process is so gamified, confusing, and circuitous that getting a home can feel like pure chance. (🧵)
We rallied with CM @galeabrewer, @REBNY, @VOCALNewYork, @newdestinyorg, Safety Net Activists, Homes Can't Wait, and NYers with lived experience to emphasize families should never have to wait an average of 235 days to move from shelter to permanent housing.
@galeabrewer @REBNY @VOCALNewYork @newdestinyorg NYC families shouldn’t need a roll of the dice to get a home. Read @PIX11News full story on what’s keeping New Yorkers stuck in shelter:
