The SAFE Shelter Act ensures trafficking survivors can have a safe place to escape to and heal. Governor Kathy Hochul, sign the SAFE Shelter Act today so trafficking survivors, who often seek shelter without children, can find safety. #SAFEShelterNY

Does Governor Kathy Hochul support the domestic violence survivor support system? A bill waiting on her desk ensures shelters are reimbursed for beds provided to single, adult survivors of domestic violence. We highlighted this issue with NYSCADV. capitolpressroom.org/2024/07/16/ser…

We know first-hand the complexities involved in implementing a Housing First program. We are grateful to CM Sandy Nurse and Deputy Speaker Diana Ayala for their leadership in sponsoring this bill and working towards removing the barriers that prevent access to housing.

The Housing Access Voucher Program (HAVP) is designed to help families stay in their communities, homes, and schools. Governor Kathy Hochul, please include HAVP in this year’s budget so families like Rhonda’s have a place to call home after fleeing violence. amny.com/opinion/govern…

The cost of school supplies is projected to rise this back-to-school season. For NYC students experiencing homelessness, this doesn’t just limit choices—it can mean going without supplies at all. You can help through Operation Backpack® >> donate.voa-gny.org/obp2025

What a way to end the week! We are immensely grateful to Mayor Eric Adams & New York City Council for including $250K in the budget to support #OperationBackpackNYC—our community service that provides students living in NYC homeless shelters with the school supplies they need to succeed.
