Patch: The New York Foundling Opens New Supportive Housing Complex in Harlem
Patch reports on the opening of our supportive housing complex in Harlem:
“Last Friday, The New York Foundling marked the completion of their newest affordable and supportive housing complex in amenity-rich Harlem that will become a new model for helping youth who are aging out of foster care and exiting the shelter system.
Residents like Venessa Riley are grateful to have the support of The Foundling’s Supportive Housing program to help them transition out of the foster care system and into living independently.
“As a youth in foster care, you never know where you’ll end up or how you’ll end up. But now, with support from The New York Foundling and New York State, I have a safe space to lay my head – and in the heart of Harlem where you walk outside and are instantly inspired. I’m grateful for this wonderful opportunity. I plan to make the most of it,” said Venessa Riley, a resident of The New York Foundling’s Harlem supportive housing program.”
