Homeless Services United

HSU and @HSC_NY needed to set the record straight about Crain's reporting on non-profits: crainsnewyork.com/op-ed/letter-e… #homelesservices #humanservices #HSUAboveAndBeyond #JustPay

HSU doesn't just rally for housing. We testify for it. Victoria Leahy, our Director of Policy and Planning, at a City Council budget hearing making the case for homeless New Yorkers and the nonprofits serving them. Rallies. Testimony. Policy. This is the work. #endhomelessness

Friday's rally at Gracie Mansion put a real number on the crisis. Housing is scarce. And for two thirds of shelter residents at Volunteers of America Greater New York, CityFHEPS does not even cover them. The law already passed. Implement it. #CityFHEPS #NYCHousing

It's closer than you think. Most Americans are one tragedy away from homelessness. A job loss. A medical bill. A family crisis. #endhomelessness #affordablehousing

We join the community in honoring Frederick Shack — former CEO of @UrbanPathwaysNY, early supporter and long-standing board member of HSU. A tireless advocate for New Yorkers experiencing homelessness. His legacy is immeasurable. Rest in Power, Fred.

HSU ED Kristin Miller with leaders shaping housing and public policy in NYC. Grateful to join @NewDestinyHousing alongside Molly Park, Kristin Mitchell, and Commissioner Barbara C. Guinn—plus partners across the sector working to expand safe, stable housing.
