In 1992, West End received the Generations United Pioneer Award for its intergenerational approach to housing, and remains the only program of its kind in New York State.
Since our inception we have served over 1,700 families and older adults, and have helped over 1,100 families obtain permanent housing.
West End Serves:
- Young homeless mothers age 18-24 with one or two children age 0-7. All families are referred by the New York City Department of Homeless Services.
- Single low-income adults age 55 years and older who are capable of independent living, are free of alcohol/drug dependence and are without severe psychiatric disorders. Applicants may be referred by the New York City Department of Homeless Services or Community Based Organizations.
Our success depends on the the commitment of our staff of caring people like you.
