Win’s 2022 City Legislative Priorities

Win, formerly Women in Need, has been serving families with children experiencing homelessness in New York City for nearly 40 years.

A reduction in homelessness will follow. Below are six key steps that the City Council can take to put the tools to a brighter future in the hands of vulnerable families.
