The Supportive Housing Network of New York represents 200 non-profit organizations that have created over 42,000 units of supportive housing across New York State.

The Network uses advocacy, training, technical assistance, research and policy analysis to: increase the public’s understanding of supportive housing; share best practices that continually improve supportive housing’s effectiveness; and, most importantly, encourage the creation of enough supportive housing to end homelessness among the most vulnerable New Yorkers.

The Supportive Housing Network of New York was established in 1988 and has expanded alongside the rapid growth of supportive housing. Permanent, affordable housing linked to services, supportive housing helps formerly homeless and other very low-income individuals and families with special needs to gain independence and live healthy, fulfilling lives in the community. With offices in New York City and Albany, the Network is the only supportive housing membership organization in New York State and is the voice of the provider community that has created by far the largest, best-managed and most innovative supportive housing stock in the nation.
