The Network and its members advocate to preserve and increase capital funding, as well as operating and service funding for supportive housing. The Network also champions policies that make development and operation of supportive housing easier and more effective.
THE STATE OF SUPPORTIVE HOUSING
The Network released the State of Supportive Housing – a comprehensive overview of the statewide supportive housing landscape. Learn more here.
NYSSHP CAMPAIGN
The Network is leading a campaign urging the State to convert the 9,000 at-risk NYSSHP units to its better funded successor the Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative (ESSHI) through a five-year, phased-in approach. Learn more here.
ESSHI CAMPAIGN
The Network was also instrumental in winning a commitment from the state in 2016 to create 20,000 units of supportive housing over the next 15 years: the Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative, the first long-term commitment to supportive housing outside NYC in history. We are working with our community to ensure the Initiative’s implementation. (For funding opportunities, please search "ESSHI" in our Funding Guide.)
