Improving the lives of NYC’s women and children for more than 30 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 close to 10,000 homeless people
Over 30,000 children slept in a shelter each month last year. Our Government is unequivocally failing its youngest citizens. This humanitarian crisis demands commonsense solutions:
✅Implement the CityFHEPS laws
✅Expand voucher access
✅Streamline the voucher process
Over 70% of people in shelter are in families with children. As NYC's homelessness crisis balloons, we need policy solutions that address the needs tens of thousands of children who sleep in shelter, every single night. https://gothamist.com/news/30k-children-lived-in-nyc-homeless-shelters-every-month-last-year-data-shows
