Within New York City, we offer three types of housing: Transitional, Supportive, and Community. For each of these, there are different ways to become a tenant—with different referral sources and application procedures.

At some of our locations, we offer affordable housing to low- and moderate-income New Yorkers: studios and 1-bedroom apartments for individuals, and 2-bedroom apartments for families.

Transitional Housing

Our transitional housing helps people with psychiatric disabilities move from shelters and hospitals into the community. Residents typically stay for between six to 18 months before—with our assistance—moving on to a more independent housing arrangement.

Application Process:
Please apply through your service provider or shelter. We cannot accept any other kind of application.

If you are referred to us through a referral agency, we'll invite you to an intake interview during which we'll guide you through the remainder of the application process.

Supportive Housing

We offer rent-subsidized housing with support services to people with psychiatric disabilities and a history of homelessness.

Application Process:
Please apply through your service provider or shelter. We cannot accept any other kind of application.

Our supportive housing is funded by state and city agencies that require tenants to meet various eligibility criteria, which vary from site to site. If you are referred to us through a referral agency, we'll connect with you to determine if and how you meet these requirements.
