HOUSING JUSTICE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AGING OUT OF FOSTER CARE IN NEW YORK CITY

Read the new report outlining a five-year plan to provide 800 new homes for youth exiting foster care which presents actionable solutions to end the foster care to homelessness pipeline in New York City. The report highlights the need for housing justice for transition-aged foster youth and provides a roadmap for policymakers, service providers and mission-driven investors.

HOMES THAT ARE BEAUTIFUL AND AFFORDABLE

Our much-anticipated proof-of-concept project in Manhattan—The Eliza, has opened! We are proud of the deep affordability, the beauty (Hudson River views), the quality of the build, and the mixed-use capacities (The New York Public Library; a performance space; a teaching kitchen; a STEM Center; a Universal PreK, a sensory room; and a community center). All designed and built in the beautiful, racially integrated Inwood neighborhood. Read more about our housing projects. 

WE BELIEVE

Children and young people belong in their communities with family whenever possible, not in institutions. We meet families where they are—whether in community centers, schools, or homes. Read more about what we do.
