Welcome to Homeward NYC

We are excited to announce that West End Residences and our True Colors Housing Programs are now Homeward NYC!

Check out this video from Jeannette Ruffins, Chief Executive Officer:

Our mission remains the same: to provide housing and wraparound services that empower homeless young mothers, LGBTQ young people and older adults to live life forward.

We chose the name Homeward NYC to encompass the diverse communities we serve—and evoke the sense of a safe home where residents can take a breath, regroup, build skills and move forward.

At each of our housing sites, we offer support services that include case management, counseling, referrals, community-building activities and life skills programs. We tailor our life skills for the communities served, offering the Women’s Empowerment Program for young mothers and the True Colors Empowerment Program for LGBTQ young adults.

Thank you for standing with us as we continue to serve the city’s most vulnerable individuals and families.
