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
Win applauds @NYCSpeakerAdams, Deputy Speaker @DianaAyalaNYC, and the @NYCCouncil for introducing three critical bills crafted by Win with input from partner organizations to reform CityFHEPS — the City’s most effective tool to combat homelessness.
The bills would speed up voucher approvals, fix inspection delays by allowing minor issues to be resolved on the spot, ensure landlords are paid within 7 days, and increase transparency across the CityFHEPS process.
CityFHEPS should be a launchpad to independence, not a barrier to stability. Read our full statement here: https://winnyc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Statement_-2-Bills-11.13.pdf
Win CEO @ChrisCQuinn joined @NY1’s The Rush Hour with @AnnikaPergament to discuss Mayor Adams’ veto of the City Council’s anti-rent hike bill. The bill would have stopped a planned increase in rent contributions for CityFHEPS families, from 30% to 40%.
Keeping rent affordable is essential to preventing family homelessness and helping New Yorkers stay housed. CityFHEPS remains one of the most effective tools to help families move from shelter into stable, permanent homes.
On @CBSNews, a resident of Win’s Supportive Housing shared how the shutdown and delayed SNAP benefits put food security at risk. Wendy’s story is a powerful reminder that federal action to protect food support is vital for NYers striving to make ends meet.
