New Destiny Housing

What New Destiny Housing does

New Destiny Housing is a New York City-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1994 to provide permanent affordable housing and supportive services to homeless domestic violence survivors and their children. It operates 11 supportive housing buildings comprising 432 units that are purpose-designed with trauma-informed principles, alongside a Housing Access and Stability Services (HASS) program delivering rapid rehousing, rental assistance navigation, and aftercare case management across all five NYC boroughs. The organization also navigates survivors through multiple rental subsidy streams including CityFHEPS, State FHEPS, Emergency Housing Vouchers, ACS Housing Subsidy, Pathway Home, and NYCHA Section 8, and manages a development pipeline of 140 additional affordable housing units. New Destiny claims to be the only NYC organization dedicated to building affordable housing specifically for domestic violence survivors.

The business model is nonprofit-funded rather than revenue-generating: services to survivors are provided free of charge, with operating support drawn from New York State Supportive Housing Program (NYSSHP) allocations — including a $17.8 million increase in the 2025-26 state budget — NYC government contracts, federal housing vouchers, charitable donations processed through Qgiv, and a diversified fundraising program spanning the TCS NYC Marathon, Rising Leaders Council, annual cocktail benefit, and matching gift campaigns. Headcount of 101-250 employees supports on-site service delivery in supportive housing buildings and the HASS rapid rehousing program. In 2025, the organization reports serving 1,454 adults and children with on-site services, housing 1,091 survivors through HASS, and achieving near-100% housing stability and 99% violence-free outcomes among program participants. Strategic positioning extends into policy advocacy through the Family Homelessness Coalition and annual convenings such as the 4th Annual Symposium on Domestic Violence Housing, which brings together senior government, nonprofit, and national homelessness leaders.
