Supporting Women and Families Through Hygiene Access and Transitional Housing Programs
Through the National Women’s Shelter Network, GFoundation was recently introduced to Samaritan Daytop Village, a leading health and human services provider and one of the largest in New York State. With more than 80 programs, they serve over 43,000 individuals and families each year.
Their key services include:
- Substance use treatment
- Mental health counseling
- Supportive and transitional housing
- Recovery programs
These initiatives help individuals and families facing serious life challenges build stability, independence, and dignity.
Transitional Housing and Pathways to Stability
Samaritan Daytop Village operates transitional housing and family residences across New York City in partnership with the NYC Department of Homeless Services.
These programs provide temporary shelter while supporting families and individuals as they work toward permanent housing. Families are kept together whenever possible, and case managers provide ongoing support to help ensure stability throughout the transition.
Our Initial Visit and Hygiene Support
Following our introduction, GFoundation visited Samaritan Daytop Village headquarters in Briarwood, Queens, delivering an initial hygiene support donation through our Women’s Shelter Hygiene Support Program for their family shelter in Queens, which serves approximately 60 women.
The visit offered a first-hand view of the scale of their services and the day-to-day needs of the people they support. It was an opportunity to contribute in a practical way to an organization serving individuals and families in a high-need environment.
Continuing Engagement
We are grateful for the opportunity to learn from Samaritan Daytop Village and begin supporting their work. GFoundation looks forward to maintaining engagement and continuing to provide contributions that respond to the real needs of the women and families they serve.
Special thanks to Alyssa Sanchez, Assistant Vice President of Transitional Housing, for meeting with us and sharing her insights during our visit.
Your gift helps women and children in shelters find safety, dignity, and hope.
Together, we can make every shelter a place to begin again.
