Hey folks, 21 miles today as the final long run for the NYC marathon I’m doing to raise money for @newdestinyhousing.org . Please give if you can. Link below: fundraisers.nyrr.org/ernest-ialon...

#10Days10Reasons #SupportiveHousingSavesLives Tens of thousands of New Yorkers have a safe, stable place to call home because of permanent #supportivehousing — including critical units funded by the CoC. It's the final hour. There is 1 day left to protect it, #SavetheCoC, and save lives.

A new @harvard.edu study reveals that women who’ve faced stalking or obtained restraining orders are at greater risk of heart disease. A brave member of our speaker's bureau shared her story w/ @cbsnews.com about how #DomesticViolence can impact cardiovascular health. www.cbsnews.com/video/study-...

Congratulations to @newdestinyhousing.org for breaking ground on their new development, McLean Place, in the Bronx! This site will have 72 units of supportive housing, 43 of which will be for survivors of domestic violence. CSH provided acquisition and predevelopment funding for this project.

Running 16 miles in the rain is nothing compared to what survivors of domestic violence face. @newdestinyhousing.org is the only organization specifically providing affordable housing to survivors of DV and their families in NYC. Please help me support their work: donations.nyrr.org/donations/ne...

Emergency Housing Vouchers gave 70k households, incl. 1000s of #DomesticViolence survivors, the chance to rebuild their lives. If Congress fails to include funding for the program in the budget, families like Monique's could be forced back into #homelessness, nationwide.

#HandsOffHousing! NYers are at risk of losing the housing & services that keep them stable & alive. Our Day of Action Staten Island event w/ @housingworksnyc.bsky.social @winnyc.bsky.social @newdestinyhousing.org @cidnyinc.bsky.social in the Staten Island Advance: www.silive.com/news/2025/07...

The Emergency Housing Voucher Program is a lifeline. Cutting it will force more New Yorkers into homelessness and fracture critical partnerships across the city. Learn more: www.silive.com/news/2025/07... @thenetworkny.bsky.social @winnyc.bsky.social

🗣️ HANDS OFF #HOUSING! New Yorkers are at risk of losing the housing & services that keep them stable & alive. We are calling on Congress to reject cuts & fully fund: ✅ CoC: $4.922B ✅ HOPWA: $750M ✅ Rental Assistance & Public Housing @thenetworkny.bsky.social @housingworksnyc.bsky.social

Lily House, our newest supportive housing building for domestic violence survivors, was featured in @news12bx.bsky.social's Rebuilding The Bronx series. Our tenant, Nicole, & CEO, Nicole Branca, discussed the life-saving role of supportive housing for survivors. bronx.news12.com/new-destiny-...

The Emergency Housing Voucher program is on the chopping block despite helping thousands across the US escape #homelessness, including survivors of #DomesticViolence. We need to invest in programs that get people housed, not cut them: nevadacurrent.com/2025/07/15/b...

Happy to be running the NYC Marathon again for @newdestinyhousing.org . They build homes and provide services for survivors of domestic violence. The full team is at newdestinyhousing.org/marathon/. My donation page is at fundraisers.nyrr.org/ernest-ialon.... Thanks to all who've donated so far.

Our tenant, Yahaira, is right: With inc. funding for the NYS Supportive Housing Program, it's critical that the gov't agencies distributing these funds “do so in a manner that ensures that the buildings that need the most get what they need” www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti... via @timesunion.com

Daniris, member of our SVP, in @thehill.com on the urgent need to fund the Emergency Housing Voucher Program: "Loss of the program would push countless survivors back to their abusers, force 10s of 1000s of ppl into homelessness & hurt landlords across every state" thehill.com/opinion/cong...

Earlier this week, @bostonglobe.com published a letter authored by our CEO, Nicole Branca, and 2nd Vice Board Chair, Blanca Ramirez, in response to @ianprasad.bsky.social's newsletter on the future of the @americorps.bsky.social program. Read the letter: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/27/o...

An excellent piece in support of AmeriCorps by the CEO and Board member of @newdestinyhousing.org , Nicole Branca and Blanca Ramirez, respectively. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/27/o...

Congratulations @newdestinyhousing.org on re-opening of Lily House today! The former shelter run by Safe Horizons is now home to 30 survivors of domestic violence and their families. #supportivehousing #supportivehousingsaveslives #endhomelessness

#ICYMI: After yrs of tireless advocacy addt'l funding was included for the NYS Supportive Housing Program in the FY 2026 state budget. TY @governor.ny.gov , @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social, & @leaderasc.bsky.social for listening to our tenants & staff on the urgent need to invest in #NYSSHP 🧵⬇️

A pillar of our advocacy at the city level has been focused on getting more #SupportiveHousing units for survivors. As part of our testimony at the @council.nyc.gov Housing & Buildings Comm. hearing on the Prelim. Budget, we urged the Council to reallocate NYC 15/15 funding for congregate housing. 🧵

TY Rep. Waters for championing the #EmergencyHousingVoucher. As she stated, "The success of EHVs in helping to end homelessness for 10s of 1000s of households cannot be overstated..." >59k families, incl. DV survivors rely on this program to remain safely housed. themortgagepoint.com/2025/04/17/c...

New @nbcnews.com : 60k Americans to lose their rental assistance & risk eviction unless Congress acts. As Gina, Sr. Dir. of HASS stated, #DomesticViolence is a "leading cause of family homelessness." Survivors' safety & stability depend on programs like EHV. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

We’re live from our 2025 Benefit! Tonight, we’re gathering to celebrate New Destiny’s achievements over the past 31 years, and the partners, like Deutsche Bank, who have made our work possible.

Hundreds strong to stand in solidarity to declare that enough is enough! We are here today to say: HANDS OFF HOUSING! #handsoffhousing @univsettlement.bsky.social @newdestinyhousing.bsky.social @housingworksnyc.bsky.social @hscny.bsky.social @liveonny.bsky.social @unhny.bsky.social

1 MILLION+ NYers, incl. #DomesticViolence survivors, rely on HUD programs to remain stably housed. DOGE's proposal to gut HUD staff and funding would only make the housing crisis worse. We stand w/ @thenetworkny.bsky.social to demand HUD's protection at the #HandsOffHousing Rally at NYC City Hall.

Join us this Friday at 10AM with a coalition of housing advocates and tenant leaders for a #HandsOffHousing rally to protect vital HUD programs & staff! Register: bit.ly/HOH25 @univsettlement.bsky.social @housingworksnyc.bsky.social @liveonny.bsky.social @leadingage.bsky.social @hscny.bsky.social

“If we lose this funding, it will get people killed." Our CEO, Nicole Branca, spoke to @fortune.com about the devastating impact HUD cuts could have on #DomesticViolence survivors. Housing is the foundation for safety, stability, and healing. Read the article: fortune.com/2025/03/18/h...

We’re Hiring! Our team is on the search for a Policy Analyst🔎 This is a new role that will provide critical support in developing & implementing strategic solutions to advance our mission. Apply today: newdestinyhousing.org/policy-analy...

We're joining @thenetworkny.bsky.social for its 2nd City Council lobby day to discuss critical legislative & budgetary priorities to improve & expand #SupportiveHousing! It's ⏰ for @council.nyc.gov to invest in a proven model to house more #DomesticViolence survivors. #SupportiveHousingSavesLives

The demand for #supportivehousing in NYC far exceeds the supply. The City must invest $307M in FY26 to develop and preserve supportive housing under the NYC 15/15 initiative. Learn more: shnny.org/images/uploa...

"TY all for ringing the alarm & stressing the message that #supportivehousing is a proven model. It provides stability, opportunities to neighbors & centers our humanity. These are people. Every single life is worth a fight," Thank you, @carlinarivera.bsky.social for joining us for our lobby day!

Vanessa Volz, Pres. & CEO of Sojourner House, is right: "W/o HUD funding, that promise of safety might not exist. & for thousands of survivors across the country, that could mean the difference between stability & #homelessness..." Read more at @bostonglobe.com: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/03/m...

It's #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth. DYK: #DomesticViolence survivors can suffer head trauma more often than football players, yet it often goes undiagnosed? Research shows that nearly 75% of dv cases involve brain injury, & the CDC now recognizes intimate partner violence as a leading cause of TBI.

We were thrilled to host Swedish Minister for Social Services, Camilla Waltersson Grönvall, at The Corden this month. Alongside representatives from the Swedish Consulate, our staff discussed the importance of supportive housing as a resource for #DomesticViolence survivors fleeing abuse.

We are thrilled to announce that Resource Coordinator: Stephanie Woodbine, has been honored with the 2025 NYC ENDGBV Survivor Bright Award! Former New Destiny client & SVP member, Stephanie now provides aftercare services to survivors, using her lived experience & dedication to advocate for others.

Our Dir. of Policy & Comms, @gabbisanreq.bsky.social, testified at the NYS 2025 Exec. Budget Hearing on human services to advocate for inc. funding for NY's 1st #SupportiveHousing prgrm, #NYSSHP. Despite housing over 20k households, NYSSHP is critically underfunded www.instagram.com/p/DGOkY31y2u4/

Happy Valentine's💜! You're invited to New Destiny’s Annual Benefit on Tuesday, April 1st from 6:00 – 9:00 PM at The Museum of the City of New York. 🎟️Get your ticket today: newdestinyhousing.org/benefit2025/

Nationwide, at least 80% of women w/ children experiencing #homelessness also experienced #DomesticViolence. @mari-anna.bsky.social spoke w/ @gabbisanreq.bsky.social , Dir. of Policy & Comms, & a New Destiny tenant about survivors' obstacles when escaping abuse. www.the74million.org/article/dome...

This week, our staff & tenants made the trek to Albany with @thenetworkny.bsky.social for their 2025 State Lobby Day! Alongside 220+ supportive housing advocates from all corners of the State, our team met w/ legislators to ask them to #SaveNYSSHP, NY's first supportive housing program. 🧵⬇️ (1/3)

9K+ units of #supportivehousing are at risk of going offline without intervention from @govkathyhochul.bsky.social & New York State Legislature. On Feb 3rd, the Network & 200+ advocates gathered in Albany to fight for the future of supportive housing. Via NY1: spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...

"The (supportive housing) resources allocated in the Governor’s Executive Budget reflect a most welcome & critical step forward, but need to be the starting point for discussion," our Executive Director @pascalel.bsky.social to CBS6 Albany at our #NetworkLobbyDay2025. cbs6albany.com/news/local/s...

“First generation #supportivehousing program, NYSSHP, hasn’t seen a funding increase in 40 yrs. As a result, 9K units are at-risk of going offline. Now is not the time for inaction. NYers deserve more.” @pascalel.bsky.social kicks off our #NetworkLobbyDay25 press conference. #savesupportivehousing

“We have tenants who have experienced abuse & have children. How much does the State pay for security? Zero. Tenants have abusers who know where they live & have zero security,” @newdestinyhousing.bsky.social’s Nicole Branca on urgent need for increased NYSSHP funding. #savesupportivehousing

The Network released the following statement on the upcoming 2025 Point-in-Time (PIT) Count and the 2024 United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) findings: shnny.org/blog/entry/t...

TODAY: Gina Cappuccitti, our Senior Director of Housing Access and Stability Services, will testify at the @council.nyc.gov General Welfare Committee's oversight hearing on CityFHEPS. We thank Deputy Speaker Ayala, council members, and council staff for the opportunity.

In a new report, NYS Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli revealed that #homelessness grew 53% from January 2023 to January 2024 and that 1 in 3 of NY’s homeless are kids. 🧵⬇️ (1/2) www.osc.ny.gov/files/report...
