Of tenants in our buildings remained stably housed during

the past year, a testament to the work of our Family Support Program staff. In addition, 99% of families headed by domestic violence survivors in our buildings remained free of repeat incidents of abuse, and 70% of tenants were employed.

2017 IN REVIEW23 years of helping families and individuals fleeing domestic violence by connecting them to safe, affordable housing and services

Adults and children in seven buildings were offered a wide

range of on-site services including safety planning, domestic violence counseling, case management, budgeting, vocational counseling and referrals, parenting support, and health, education and legal referrals. During the past year, we began implementation of a trauma-informed care approach to service provision throughout the program; and hired a Children’s and Family Services Coordinator to conduct assessments and counseling for children who have been impacted by violence.

Households headed by domestic violence survivors were connected to

affordable housing through HousingLink during the fiscal year for a total of 42 households placed in three years. This exceeds the program’s three-year goal of placing 40 households—a major milestone. HousingLink is New Destiny’s innovative homelessness prevention program that is based at New York City Family Justice Centers (FJC).

“HousingLink has been a helpful stepping stone to lead me to where I belong. HousingLink is a great source of help and support during a difficult time. As a domestic violence survivor, you feel you can’t trust, have no support and no one on your side. HousingLink was the support and guidance I needed to move forward.“ —New Destiny client

Units of new affordable housing in two buildings in the Bronx are in

our development pipeline. We closed on one building in June 2017 that will have 42 units for low-income households with 23 units set aside for homeless domestic violence survivors. A second affordable housing project that will have 62 affordable units for low-income households, with 37 units set aside for victims of domestic violence, is in pre-development.

of individuals in New York City’s shelter system are families with children, many of whom stay in the shelter system for over a year. New Destiny, Citizens’ Committee for Children

and Enterprise Community Partners convened over 40 stakeholders to call attention to the needs of homeless children and their families, ensure the well-being of families during the time they are living in shelter, and develop and advance recommendations to prevent and end family homelessness. At a June 2017 summit, a report with recommendations to address family homelessness was issued. The full report, Prioritizing Homeless Children and Their Families, can be accessed at www.newdestinyhousing.org.
