HousingPlus

Offering permanent housing with supportive services for women and families experiencing homeless.

For New York's women who are experiencing homelessness, there's almost nowhere to turn for help. HousingPlus provides these under-served women with keys to build lives of their own: We provide housing so they can create real homes, address the traumatic events that may have led to their homelessness, and offer employment services that help them get jobs. This uniquely holistic approach empowers women to achieve personal and financial security for themselves and their families.

In one year, we will reach the legal deadline to . Our staff from Justice Works and transitional housing joined the Urban Justice Center for a rally on Monday. At this event, advocates marked the ongoing effort to reduce the Rikers Island population. Alternatives to incarceration are one way to ensure the timely closure of Rikers Island. We are proud to stand with other organizations and mark this occasion as we continue to fight for justice for all those detained at Rikers, as well as a swift closure of the facility.

Our sincerest thanks to Marble Collegiate Church, which donated 150 backpacks filled with useful supplies to HousingPlus' youngest tenants. HousingPlus Board Member and Marble Church congregant Mamie McIndoe was instrumental in bringing this donation to fruition as she has facilitated for several years. Students living in HousingPlus sites will have a bright start to the new school year with all of the plentiful supplies and brand-new bookbags donated.

This weekend, the Church hosted our CEO, Karen Ford, VP of Transitional Housing, Sharon Dorr, and VP of Permanent Housing, Joyce Kelly, who joined in the joyful activity of packing bags for our HousingPlus tenant families.

Supportive housing is made possible by partnership. When it comes to building new supportive housing, every door that opens is the result of months and years of planning, financing, building, staffing, and creating a space that our clients can call home.

Our next project at Van Sinderen would not be possible without the assistance of Nonprofit Finance Fund. Thank you, NFF, CSH, and all legislators and officials who joined us on August 18.

On August 18, HousingPlus, Nonprofit Finance Fund, and CSH hosted elected and appointed leaders from across the city and state. At this dynamic event, we showcased the difference a home can make for New Yorkers impacted by homelessness.

Among our attendees were Miguel Bonilla, Deputy Director of Capacity Building at the Mayor's Office for Nonprofit Services (pictured on the left), who presented HousingPlus with a special Certificate of Recognition signed by Mayor Mamdani.

In addition, representatives from the offices of Congressman Hakeem Jeffries and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, and many other local leaders joined in this on-site visit to one of our largest permanent supportive housing projects.

Today is ! Let’s take a moment to celebrate the beautiful stories of individuals transformed by supportive housing:

Sierra is a Veteran of the Army who says she was forced to move around many times after her service. Today, she feels the impact of stability in her life. She recently spoke at an event for HousingPlus Veteran tenants and shared her story of what home means to her.

Luz was impacted by detention at Rikers Island for a charge that was eventually dropped. Today, she is raising her baby son in her apartment at one of HousingPlus’ newest buildings. She has made a wonderful environment to raise her child and looks forward to her future.

Whether you volunteer, donate, or simply help spread the word, your support matters. Together, we can help build housing stability for women and families—one act of kindness at a time. www.housingplusnyc.org/donate

Our tenants and staff members gathered this week for a Tenant Community Meeting. Hearing feedback from tenants is so valuable - it is an opportunity to ensure that voices are heard. To add to the feeling of community, our staff prepared fresh fruit smoothies for all in attendance. These are the types of events that make us a stronger group.

Delighted to share some of the words of Housing Specialist Malik Barr, who is fundamental in ensuring that women exiting their time in the justice system find stable housing. Malik spoke at an event with FPWA on Tuesday, in good company with individuals like the Deputy Mayor of Health and Human Services, Helen Arteaga, and former mayor of Philadelphia, Michael Nutter. We are so proud!

Recently, HousingPlus CEO Karen Ford joined other women-led organizations in a collaborative meeting with DOC Commissioner Stanley Richards. As women-led, women-supporting organizations, the conversation centered around reducing the population of women detained at Rikers as well as women impacted by mental illness. The group also had the opportunity to learn more about the DOC's priorities. Commissioner Richards and his team were incredibly welcoming. We are excited for the conversations and actions ahead of us in this effort.
