West End Residences HDFC, Inc.

West End is a unique nonprofit organization established to effectively address the crisis of homelessness among New York City's most vulnerable residents. Our Intergenerational Residence provides temporary housing and support services to homeless young mothers and their children as well as permanent supportive housing to formerly homeless and low-income older adults on Manhattan's Upper West Side. True Colors Residence provides permanent housing with support services to formerly homeless and at-risk lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth in Central Harlem. True Colors Bronx, our second residence dedicated to serving this vulnerable population, opened in September in 2015. West End's ultimate goal is to bring a True Colors residence to each of New York City's five boroughs. For a quarter of a century our mission has been to provide safe and supportive transitional and permanent housing together with comprehensive services that assist and empower homeless and formerly homeless youth, families, and older adults to live full and productive lives. West End has developed innovative and one-of-a-kind programs, creating a dedicated, unique and growing community in which the neediest New Yorkers are able to get a new start in life. Our long-running programs continue to successfully serve hundreds of vulnerable individuals and families each year. As new challenges arise, West End continues to carry out our mission by taking the lead in advancing creative solutions to address the needs of New York City’s most underserved populations.
