Urban Pathways CEO, Fred Shack, is quoted in a recent article discussing the uncertainty around federal grant funding for homeless services organizations in New York City. The Trump administration’s abrupt changes to federal contracts, including the removal of the "housing first" model, have raised concerns among providers like Urban Pathways. “If that money were to go away, it is going to have a significant impact on our ability to provide the same level of service,” said Shack. This shift in federal policy could have significant impacts on vital services like case management, health & wellness education, and more. Despite changes, Urban Pathways is committed creating a New York where everyone has a safe place to call home. Read the full article below. https://lnkd.in/eS-ZJrHJ

This breakfast celebrates the dedication, resilience, and achievements of tenants who have shown exceptional growth and made a positive impact within their supportive housing residences and the broader community.
