According to the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV), 57% of all homeless woman report that domestic violence was the cause of their homelessness, making domestic violence a leading cause of homelessness in the United States. Many women are forced to flee their homes in search of safety. Unfortunately, statistics show that most women face abuse while homeless, leaving many unable to escape violence and danger. The NNEDV reports that more than 90% of homeless women experience severe physical or sexual abuse, meaning those who escape their violent homes are even more likely to face abuse. Molly’s Pitcher Landing, developed in partnership with Women in Need, Inc. (WIN), provides secure, affordable homes for survivors of domestic violence. This community empowers women to rebuild their lives, offering an escape from abuse and the dangers of homelessness. Most importantly, access to these affordable apartments gives women the freedom to choose a life free from violence and instability.

The community management team at Pinehurst, A Conifer Community in East Patchogue, NY, recently hosted their 2nd annual Fall Festival, creating a warm and inviting space for residents and local vendors to come together. The event had 34 vendors who set up booths, offering a variety of locally crafted products for residents to purchase. While supporting local businesses and the East Patchogue community, Fall Festival gives the opportunity for residents and community members to come together and celebrate the change of season with neighbors and friends. The spirit of unity extended beyond just shopping. The local Boy Scout Troop actively participated by generously offering water and snacks to event-goers. Additionally, Suffolk County Legislator Dominick Thorne attended the event and graciously arranged local organizations to replenish the Pinehurst food pantry throughout the year with donations. Conifer takes great pride in supporting both the local community and its residents, and the success of this year's Fall Festival is a testament to that commitment. The festival succeeded not just as a celebration of the season, but as a meaningful effort to bring neighbors together, strengthen local bonds, and address the needs of the community in a lasting and impactful way. #AffordableHousing #CommunityEvent #ResidentFocused
