New Providence Women’s Shelter is a 130 bed emergency shelter for adults who identify as women and have been diagnosed with mental health or substance use disorders. Currently, New Providence is undergoing a full reconstruction. While this takes place, all residents have been moved to alternate locations, with most residing in a congregate setting in Hell’s Kitchen, where we continue to provide comprehensive services. We offer case management, individual and group counseling, recreational activities, housing placement assistance, primary care, and behavioral health services.
We are currently demolishing the old building, and constructing a brand-new, modern, 21-story tower. This building will provide 131 units of permanent affordable and supportive housing for adults and 171 shelter beds for adults identifying as women with mental health concerns. On-site support will include mental health care, social services, and an Article 28 street-facing primary care clinic for residents and the broader community.
