What WHPDC does

Wyandanch Homes and Property Development Corporation (WHPDC) is a nonprofit community-based organization founded in 1985 and headquartered at 819 Grand Blvd, Deer Park, New York. It serves low-income and homeless families with two or more children in Suffolk County, NY, primarily through its core Project Self Sufficiency Program, which places eligible families in affordable single-family rental homes owned by the organization (26 homes in Wyandanch, of which 22 were modular-built and 5 renovated since 1985) and delivers intensive weekly one-hour case management visits over a typical 2-5 year program duration. An Aftercare Program provides up to one year of follow-up support post-graduation, and the On The Rise initiative — funded by a 2022 Bank of America Neighborhood Builders grant — adds career counseling and enrollment assistance in Solar Energy, Electronic Assembly, Advanced Manufacturing, and Welding through partnerships with Suffolk County Community College, Opportunities Long Island, and United Way of Long Island.

WHPDC operates with a small five-person staff led by Executive Director Ayesha K. Alleyne (with the organization since 2002) and Associate Director Chanée Hammonds. All services are provided at no cost to participants; the organization has no proprietary technology and no commercial product, with operations centered on high-touch human case management rather than automated systems. Governance is provided by a board chaired by Darlene Dungee-Wilkerson, with Wayne Horsley as Vice Chairman, Charles Lloyd as Treasurer, and Richard Koubek, PhD. as Secretary.

The organization's revenue model consists entirely of grant funding from charitable foundations, corporate giving programs (banks), and government programs. Major repeat funders include the William E. & Maude S. Pritchard Charitable Trust (~$191K cumulative across multiple grants, including $50K in July 2025), Bank of America Charitable Foundation (cumulative ~$280K including a $200K Neighborhood Builders award in 2022), TD Charitable Foundation, M&T Charitable Foundation, Town of Babylon Community Development Program, Newsday Charities, Long Island Community Foundation, Citi Foundation, Wells Fargo Foundation, and United Way of Long Island. The customer base — individual low-income and homeless families — is acquired through referrals from social service agencies, community organizations, and direct inquiries, with a multi-interview intake process. Marketing is community-led via the organization's website, Facebook page, and @wyandanch_homes Instagram account.
