#10Days10Reasons #SupportiveHousingSavesLives

Tens of thousands of New Yorkers have a safe, stable place to call home because of permanent #supportivehousing — including critical units funded by the CoC.

It's the final hour. There is 1 day left to protect it, #SavetheCoC, and save lives.

Running 16 miles in the rain is nothing compared to what survivors of domestic violence face. @newdestinyhousing.org is the only organization specifically providing affordable housing to survivors of DV and their families in NYC.

Emergency Housing Vouchers gave 70k households, incl. 1000s of #DomesticViolence survivors, the chance to rebuild their lives.

If Congress fails to include funding for the program in the budget, families like Monique's could be forced back into #homelessness, nationwide.

The Emergency Housing Voucher Program is a lifeline. Cutting it will force more New Yorkers into homelessness and fracture critical partnerships across the city.

Our tenant, Yahaira, is right: With inc. funding for the NYS Supportive Housing Program, it's critical that the gov't agencies distributing these funds “do so in a manner that ensures that the buildings that need the most get what they need”

Commentary: Extra funding for supportive housing will help survivors of domestic abuse

But the funding will only make a difference if it's targeted to where it's needed most.

Ending emergency housing aid cuts a lifeline for domestic violence survivors

Losing the program would push countless survivors back to their abusers, force tens of thousands of people into homelessness and hurt landlords across every state financially.

We also applaud the state’s decision to increase funding for #ESSHI & the Homeless Housing & Assistance Program, so we can continue building much needed supportive housing for survivors; as well as the creation of the #HAVP, which will help thousands of survivors find safe & affordable homes.

As we work w/ the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) to disburse these additional NYSSHP funds quickly, New Destiny will continue to fight for the full $32M for NYSSHP in next year’s budget – for many of the survivors we serve, the difference is life or death.

TY grateful to Sen. Cleare & AM Hevesi for your longtime advocacy on behalf of NYSSHP & #DomesticViolence survivors.

Thanks to leaders like them, NY has recognized that supportive housing is the best, most cost-effective way to provide survivors w/ the tools they need to stay alive & heal. (5/7)

The increase will enable nfps, like us, to add desperately needed case management services, mental health support, & building security, which will both improve & save survivors’ lives, while helping ensure the financial stability of this vital affordable housing stock for generations to come.

Though it is not the full $32M that we called for, the inclusion of $17M for #NYSSHP – the first significant funding increase in almost 40 yrs – means that our state is committed to addressing the dangerously low contract rates of the program. (2/7)
