Unlocking Potential Since 1983
Nazareth Housing is a community-based nonprofit serving vulnerable families and individuals in crisis. For 40 years, Nazareth has helped families to unlock their potential, build pathways out of poverty, and avoid homelessness.
We touch people’s lives and engage with our clients in a way that empowers them to build a pathway out of poverty and create lives filled with possibility and opportunity.
Homelessness is now a decades-long crisis in New York City. Nazareth Housing strives to stabilize families long before they become homeless, breaking the cycle by preventing homelessness in the first place. We believe that the earlier we can recognize signs of distress, the quicker and easier families can overcome barriers to stability.
