Welcome Home

We are the first organization in New York City that provides culturally competent and trauma informed housing justice and shelter to meet the diverse needs of the Arab, Muslim, Middle Eastern, South Asian and Black Indigenous People of Color populations. We are not just a shelter - we are a movement committed to empowering disenfranchised populations.

Who Are We
