Homelessness Prevention and Anti-Eviction Services
UNH member agencies combat homelessness in New York City by helping homeless New Yorkers transition to employment and permanent housing reducing the need for more costly shelter placements. Settlement house programs also help families maintain their current permanent housing, by avoiding eviction or other preventable emergencies. UNH fights an ongoing battle to maintain funding for these programs:
- Homeless Prevention Program
- Homelessness Intervention Program
- Anti-Eviction Services
- Single Room Occupancy Legal Support Services
- Emergency Shelter
- Supportive Housing (for those with mental illness or other special needs)
