From intern to Senior Case Manager at Nazareth Housing, Stephanie’s career reflects persistence and compassion in action. We proudly honored her at the HSU Gala as a Neighborhood Defender for Excellence in Homeless Prevention.

At our NYC rally, the chant rang out: Housing is a human right. 🗽✊🏽 Every voice matters. Together we can create housing solutions rooted in dignity + equity. #HSUnitedVoices #HousingJustice

New Yorkers rallied at City Hall to protect the supports that keep our communities safe: housing, food, and healthcare.
These basics are under threat — but our coalition stands strong.
✊🏽 #NYC #StopTheCuts #HousingJustice

Kadija Still of NYDIS shows what it means to lead with compassion: meeting people where they are, listening deeply, and building solutions that last. This is what our coalition looks like in action.”
