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.

Prepared by Suzanne Adler, Housing Advocate, and Annie Carforo, Community Organizer, this guide has a collection of useful tips, advice, information, and tools to help you with your search for stable housing.

Remember: When a landlord refuses to accept your housing voucher, that is called Source of Income Discrimination (SID), and it is illegal.
