Project Title: Dorothy Day Apartments

The Center for Urban Community Services (CUCS) works to advance effective housing and service initiatives for homeless and low-income individuals. CUCS collaborated with Broadway Housing Communities (BHC) to develop the Dorothy Day Apartments, a supportive housing project in Harlem that integrates affordable housing and service programs for families in underserved communities.  A grant from the FAR Fund will enable CUCS to provide support services to neighborhood youth and families participating in Dorothy Day’s educational programs. 

Project Title: Technical Assistance for the Council on Homeless Policies and Services

Community Resource Exchange (CRE) provides management assistance to encourage, facilitate and enable community based organizations to improve their administration and the services they provide. With a grant from the FAR Fund, CRE will help the Council on Homeless Policies and Services develop a strategic fundraising plan to pursue legislation that would reinvest funds originally intended for homeless shelters into supportive family development and homeless prevention services.

Project Title: Affordable Housing for Whom?

Founded in 1999 by two homeless men, Picture the Homeless believes that homeless people have human and civil rights regardless of their race, creed, color or economic status. The Affordable Housing for Whom? campaign will work to develop and implement alternative ways New York City determines eligibility for subsidized housing. Support from the FAR Fund will enable Picture the Homeless to further their campaign to include an analysis of current housing policies and an alternative model for stable, affordable and supportive housing.
