Mission: The Partnership To End Homelessness is a homelessness prevention organization. Forty years of experience and community input determined our mission of ending homelessness by preventing it. Our values – compassion, inclusion, integrity, professionalism and social justice – steer our strategy and operations as we implement our approach of stepping in before New Yorkers lose their homes. Our community is New Yorkers at risk of or experiencing homelessness; primarily women and children of color, immigrants and the LGBTQIA+ community. A majority are living with the complex trauma that can result from experiencing domestic violence, childhood abuse, sexual violence and poverty. Without access to therapy and the grounding of a safe home to heal, they are at increased and repeated risk of homelessness. Because going into a shelter causes significant disruptions to work and school, less than half of all children who go into the shelter system graduate high school, putting them on a fast track to intergenerational poverty and homelessness.
Target demographics: people at risk of experiencing homelessness
Direct beneficiaries per year: save homes for 3,000 New Yorkers and provided more than 5,000 direct services
Geographic areas served: New York City
Programs: Our housing program – which provides rental and financial assistance – addresses immediate crises and ensures our clients keep their homes. Thereafter, our mental health and well-being services address the complex trauma our clients endure, providing culturally-appropriate mental health care to stabilize clients in their homes long-term. We seek to prevent homelessness and at the same time, demonstrate these fiscal and humanitarian benefits that will lead to the adoption of our model more broadly.
