Our Commitment

At Project Renewal we strive to embed our values into every aspect of our work, and we recognize that our City’s homelessness crisis is deeply rooted in persistent and systemic issues.

There are tens of thousands of people sleeping in shelters and on New York City streets each night, many of whom have been marginalized because of factors such as mental and physical disabilities, struggles with substance use, sexual orientation, or criminal justice involvement.

As a social services agency, we commit ourselves to a true civic partnership with people that have been most affected by homelessness, and many of our staff belong to these communities. We aspire to create a culture where staff and clients experience a sense of belonging based on their full selves.

Project Renewal envisions a New York City where all people have fair access to stable housing, integrated healthcare, and gainful employment at a living wage.
