We operate with a strengths-based, goal-oriented approach to advocacy and case management. By building on the inherent strengths of our members, we encourage self-advocacy, enabling them to manage challenges and ultimately avoid crises.

Our staff provides personalized support to individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, helping them navigate New York City’s housing market. Through Housing Search Workshops, Source of Income Discrimination Trainings, and ongoing assistance, the Empowerment Program is dedicated to ensuring marginalized communities receive the resources they need for long-term stability.

Thank you Mayor Bill de Blasio, Melissa Mark Viverito, Julissa Ferreras, Stephen Levin,  Barry Grodenchik, and Darlene Mealy for ensuring that New York’s Emergency Food Assistance Program (#EFAPhelps) continues to address hunger in the 2017 budget year.
