We are incredibly grateful for their partnership and support as we prepare to offer much-needed assistance to individuals in the area.

We are excited to offer a first look at our new 9th Avenue Drop-In Center in Hell’s Kitchen, now in the final stages of construction. Drop-In Centers provide vital services for individuals experiencing homelessness, offering a safe space to rest, recharge, and connect with resources. Our new center, designed with comfort and accessibility in mind, begins in a welcoming entryway with a colorful Urban Pathways mural. Visitors can relax in the first-floor common area, charge their devices, and access restrooms and showers. The second, third and fourth floors house additional common areas, a medical room, and offices where our dedicated staff will meet with visitors and assist them in working toward their goals. Use the link below to take the virtual tour today and explore everything the new 9th Avenue Drop-In Center has to offer. We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome everyone to this essential new space! https://lnkd.in/eq7Qx2m7 #lightingthepathhome #buildingthefuture

Yesterday, the Mayor's Office for Nonprofit Services held a conference celebrating National Nonprofit Day. This day was organized to highlight the work and impact of NYC’s nonprofit sector on social issues, community building, and driving change. Urban Pathways’ CEO, Frederick Shack, attended the event as one of four panelists, joining Jairo Guzman, Meridith Maskara, and Annie Minguez, and keynote speakers Nathaniel Kendall-Taylor and Laura Rog. Discussions from the panel shared insights on the perception of human services organizations, the future of BIPOC-led nonprofits, and the essential role of nonprofits in community advocacy and wellbeing. Throughout the day, there were many opportunities to connect with other leaders, policymakers, and community members. We are incredibly grateful to share this space with such diverse and empowering voices, and for the increasing awareness around the crucial roles of nonprofits in community development. #EmpowerNonprofits #NationalNonprofitDayNYC

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Jess Harvey, a cherished member of our community and a true champion of our mission. Jessica served on our Associate Board, over the years helping to host barbecues for the people we serve, sourcing donations for our annual holiday gift bags, and working with members of leadership to determine how the Associate Board could make the most impact. Jessica’s commitment to our cause and her unwavering care for those in need will be remembered by all of us, and her legacy of kindness and service will continue to inspire us.

“This is not a one-and-done, this is an ongoing process. It's not a sprint, this is a marathon.” We recently had the opportunity to sit down with two of our supporters, Joe and Ann, to learn about their path to Urban Pathways and what inspired them to get involved in our community. From direct outreach to fundraising, we are immensely grateful for all that they do. Want to read more about their journey and how you can support Urban Pathways?
