Our Mission

We’re all one accident away from suffering poverty and homelessness. How many people save up six months of income for emergencies? That’s why we’re fighting the root causes of homelessness and building a more equitable NYC. We target 3 issues that create instability in our communities:

Health

Did you know that more than 65% of bankruptcies are the result of healthcare costs? Corporations value profits over people, doling out expensive plans and inadequate care. That’s why we’re advocating for no-cost health coverage (“Medicare for All”).

Hunger

Access to healthy food stabilizes our communities. Through our Farm Programs volunteers harvest, collect, and deliver organic produce to New Yorkers in need.

Housing

We advocate for better policies that protect tenants and keep people in their homes. Our communities need transitional, supportive and inclusive housing.
