We're dedicated to our mission of combatting homelessness through housing and support services while advocating for systemic change.
Our VisionA New York of thriving communities where everyone has a place to call home.
Since its founding in 1975, Urban Pathways has remained steadfast in its commitment to addressing homelessness in New York City. At the heart of our mission is the adoption of a housing first approach in everything we do. We recognize that secure housing acts as the foundation for each person we serve as they aspire to improve their quality of life.
Through our programs and housing options, we meet each person where they are, providing personalized guidance for their unique needs and situation. This person-centered approach helps empower each individual, providing the support and services they need to reach for their ideal future.
