TRAINED IN SOURCE OF INCOME DISCRIMINATION
We operate with a strengths-based, goal-oriented approach to advocacy and case management. By building on the inherent strengths of our members, we encourage self-advocacy, enabling them to manage challenges and ultimately avoid crises.

Our staff provides personalized support to individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, helping them navigate New York City’s housing market. Through Housing Search Workshops, Source of Income Discrimination Trainings, and ongoing assistance, the Empowerment Program is dedicated to ensuring marginalized communities receive the resources they need for long-term stability.

All services in our Empowerment Program are free, confidential, and by appointment. 

In New York City, denying tenants who are looking for housing with a housing voucher is illegal—but it still happens every day. Watch to learn more about source of income discrimination and what can be done to fight it.

At Neighbors Together, we actively fight against Source of Income discrimination with trainings for our members, and with partner organizations. Interested in bringing one of our trainings to your organization? Let us know more here
