Housing Solutions of New York

What Housing Solutions of New York does

Housing Solutions of New York (HSNY) is a Bronx-headquartered 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2001 that delivers a coordinated continuum of homelessness services across all five boroughs of New York City. The organization serves more than 7,500 individuals annually, including families with children, single adults, asylum seekers, youth ages 16-29, people living with HIV/AIDS, and Medicaid beneficiaries with chronic physical and behavioral health conditions. Service delivery spans emergency shelter, transitional housing (12 Tier II facilities and 6 commercial hotel sites), scattered-site permanent supportive housing through the C.R.E.A.T.E. program, Health Home care management, food access via No-Line Community Food Pantries, and workforce pathways (JUST Health, WORKS Plus).

HSNY's core program portfolio comprises the Emergency Housing Program (in partnership with NYC HRA), Temporary Transitional Housing, Community Health Programs (Ryan White Part A Food and Nutrition Services and Part B Real Connections), C.R.E.A.T.E. supportive housing, Health Home Care Management and Medicaid Redesign Team (MRT) housing support, Youth Services (C2C:BRY), the JUST Health employment initiative, WORKS Plus, and the No-Line Community Food Pantry. The organization does not operate any proprietary technology platform; service delivery and client tracking rely on standard nonprofit and government systems, including the CARES case management database, the NYC DHS Coordinated Assessment and Placement System (CAPS), and the third-party Plentiful app for food pantry scheduling. A small in-house IT function oversees a 750-device network across 25 sites.

HSNY generates revenue almost entirely from government contracts with NYC Department of Homeless Services, NYC Human Resources Administration, and NYS Department of Health, supplemented by federal Ryan White grants, Medicaid Health Home reimbursements, and philanthropic donations (individual giving, corporate sponsorships, foundation grants, an Annual Gala with sponsorship tiers of $5,000-$50,000, the SEEN Symposium, and recurring gifts through Givecloud). All services are free at point of delivery to eligible clients referred through government and community-based partner channels including BronxWorks, Montefiore Medical Center, and the CCMP Health Home network. The organization is governed by an independent board led by Board Chair Marilyn Sola Tavarez and operated under CEO Seth Muraskin, with a senior team spanning program, operations, compliance, finance, HR, and government affairs functions.
