Safeguarding Well-Being: Supports for Families Experiencing Housing Instability

Safe, stable housing is critical to the health and well-being of New York City’s children and families.

As tens of thousands of NYC families face housing instability and homelessness, this webinar spotlights urgent policy solutions and investments needed to build a more responsive and equitable housing system. Co-hosted by CCC and the Family Homelessness Coalition, this discussion with housing advocates explores how city leaders can strengthen supports for families in shelter, prevent homelessness through upstream interventions, and ensure every child has a safe and stable place to call home.

This webinar is part two of a three part series, Building NYC’s Future: A Children’s Agenda for the Next Mayor and City Leaders, spotlighting fact-based policy solutions to some of the most urgent challenges in the context of a Mayoral transition.
