A new nonprofit transforming the way New Yorkers with housing vouchers source and rent available housing.
About us
An innovative new nonprofit transforming the system by which NYC residents with housing subsidies source and rent available housing. Anthos|Home’s mission is to expedite access to permanent housing for homeless and vulnerable New Yorkers by streamlining the voucher-to-housing process and providing services to tenants and landlords to support housing stability and success. Anthos|Home is a game-changer for New Yorkers who are unhoused or at risk of homelessness—and for the systems that serve them. Our Story: Anthos|Home was founded in 2022 by Laura Lazarus and Leslie Abbey, leaders with decades of experience in government, social service nonprofits, and affordable housing development. Anthos|Home was inspired by old problems, in New York and elsewhere: the growing crisis of homelessness and the systemic challenges of using housing subsidies/vouchers to secure housing. Every year, thousands of vouchers go unused and apartments sit empty, while individuals and families make do in shelters for months or even years. To remedy the problem, Anthos|Home partners with local government, nonprofits, housing providers, and private funders to help voucher holders quickly move into affordable housing. Our model — which is based on the Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool created by Brilliant Corners in Los Angeles — succeeds by easing the risk and administrative burden of housing providers, by helping tenants navigate the voucher and rental landscapes, and by providing ongoing support and assistance to both. In short, Anthos|Home makes every step of the voucher process easier for all involved. Our model has the added benefit of attracting more landlords, thereby increasing the number of affordable housing units available to voucher holding tenants, freeing up government and nonprofit resources to address other aspects of homelessness in New York.

The United States Interagency Council on Homelessness recently released a spotlight on youth homelessness in the United States. One key takeaway? The foster-care system is one of the biggest pipelines into youth homelessness. Anthos|Home partners with the NYC Administration for Children's Services and foster care agencies in New York City to help young adults use their vouchers to find an affordable place to call home in three months, on average.

The National Alliance to End Homelessness has just released its 2024 State of Homelessness Report, and the findings highlight an urgent need for action. Here's a snapshot of the key takeaways: 📈 Record-High Homelessness: On a single night in January 2023, over 653,000 people were experiencing homelessness—a 12.1% increase from the previous year. 👥 Disproportionate Impact: Communities of color, veterans, and people with disabilities continue to be disproportionately affected. Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and Black individuals are among the hardest hit. 🌎 Concentration in Key States: Just seven states, including California and New York, account for more than 60% of homelessness nationwide. We must work together to address this growing crisis. 👉 Read the full report for more details: https://lnkd.in/gGGRnxyA #AffordableHousing #PolicyChange #HousingForAll

This investigation by USA TODAY paints a powerful picture of the barriers and frustrations families and individuals face trying to use Section 8 housing vouchers. Many, after years on a waiting list to receive a voucher, have only a few months to find housing before it expires – and then the voucher goes to the next person on the waitlist.

🎉 Congratulations Andrzej on his move to his new home! Since he uses a walker, it was important to find an apartment on the first floor, or in a building with an elevator. He was referred to us in May by Montefiore Health System, and three months later, Anthos|Home helped him move into his sunny studio in a building with an elevator. 📄 Andrzej thanks his Tenant Coordinator, Elsa Rose, for helping him and his health aide navigate the housing voucher paperwork process. 🥳 Congratulations Andrzej! #HousingForAll #AffordableHousing #CreatingANewWayHome #AnthosHome
