Welcome toNEW DESTINY HOUSING

New Destiny is a New York City nonprofit founded in 1994 to provide housing and services to one of the City’s most vulnerable homeless populations – survivors of domestic violence and their children. We are committed to increasing permanent housing options for domestic violence survivors by building affordable housing and improving their access to existing housing resources.

New Destiny’s mission is to end the cycle of domestic violence and homelessness for low-income families and individuals by developing and connecting them to safe, permanent, affordable housing and services.

Domestic violence has been the number one driver of family homelessness in New York City for far too long, followed by evictions. Once in domestic violence shelter, survivors are more likely to move to another shelter than to permanent housing. Without access to affordable, permanent housing, survivors remain homeless, risking their safety by doubling up with friends or family or worse still, returning to their abusers.

New Destiny …

• Saves Lives by developing new permanent housing that includes on-site services to help domestic violence survivors remain safe and stable and become financially secure, and by developing programs that connect survivors to safe, affordable housing.
• Empowers survivors to access existing housing resources by providing comprehensive information on affordable housing and subsidies, training and technical assistance.
• Informs policy makers and the public about the needs of survivors and advocates on behalf of women and children for increased access to housing and resources.
