Mission
To provide safe, affordable housing to homeless and low-income families and to further the physical, social, and economic stability of distressed neighborhoods.
What they do
Shelter operations: westhab has developed a unique capacity to deliver effective programs designed to help families and singles experiencing homelessness secure permanent housing and get back on their feet. westhab has adapted the housing first concept to meet local needs, working to ensure that homelessness is a brief and one-time experience. westhab helped to create the homeless system in westchester county, innovating new solutions like the emergency housing apartment program and creating full-service shelters that provide individualized services to meet each client's needs. westhab's family shelters minimize school interruptions for students and provide comprehensive out-of-school time programs and on site childcare support. over the years, westhab, through its partnership with the westchester county department of social services, has successfully reduced the need for homeless facilities in westchester, closing two shelters and shifting our focus to developing permanent affordable and supportive housing. westhab participates actively in the westchester continuum of care for the homeless partnership, which has developed hundreds of units of permanent supportive housing for special needs populations. westhab's portfolio in new york city has grown substantially in recent years. at year end 2024, westhab operated 20 transitional housing programs in the city serving about 2,500 households. each program is customized to best meet the needs of its tenants, which include singles, families with children, and adult families. westhab has now opened three "purpose-built" shelters, designed specifically for their use and setting the bar for quality design for transitional housing. westhab is currently in construction on two additional purpose-built shelters. in addition to developing comprehensive youth services programs in its family shelters to meet the myriad academic, enrichment and social needs of young people, westhab now also operates seven community-based youth centers: one in yonkers, three in the bronx, and three in manhattan to meet the needs of at-risk young people in underserved neighborhoods.
Employment services: westhab's employment services programs focus on job readiness training, job placement and job retention. we started this service with homeless residents in our shelters, then expanded to serving the larger community in mount vernon and yonkers by opening community resource centers in both communities. in 2016, we expanded our model to work with residents of our new york city homeless programs. in 2016 through a partnership with the city of new rochelle, westhab opened the first job source referral center in downtown new rochelle, a one stop shop for community members to receive job readiness training, hard skill training, educational assistance, job placement assistance, and job retention services. westhab's community resource centers enable several thousand residents each year to access job-finding opportunities on the internet, upgrade resumes, obtain interview clothing, and practice interview techniques.
