TRAINED IN SOURCE OF INCOME DISCRIMINATION
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.

On Monday, 9/26 at 10am, Neighbors Together members will be participating in a press conference and City Council hearing in support of the Right To Counsel bill (Intro 214-A). This bill would give New Yorkers the right to legal representation when fighting for their homes in housing court.  This bill is critical because it would change the balance of power in housing court, where 90% of landlords have attorneys while most tenants don’t!
