Every day, nonprofit human services workers help New Yorkers access shelter, prevent eviction, support families, care for veterans, and move into permanent housing.

These are the people working across shelters, supportive housing, homelessness prevention, outreach, and family services to help New Yorkers build stability and move forward.

Yet nonprofit human services workers continue to earn significantly less than City employees doing comparable work.

We’re calling on and to pass Int 0452 and advance for the human services workforce.

At HELP Home Simpson, supportive housing means more than having a place to live. It means having independence, support, and the opportunity to move forward.

For Robert, moving into his own apartment meant having a place to call home while rebuilding relationships with his children and grandchildren.

“It’s a blessing,” he shared. “I got my own key now. I can cook my own food and come and go as I please.”

That sense of stability is what Fallon Torres, Director at HELP Home Simpson, and her team work to create every day.

“We try our best to make residents feel at home and provide hope and an opportunity for them to thrive,” Fallon said. “Any small step should be a victory.”
