From Lifelines to Lasting Change

Our mission is to provide life-changing support to people who have lost their housing or are struggling to meet other basic needs. We partner with those we serve to build a more secure future for themselves and their families.

We are on a mission to uplift people, restore their
well-being, and strengthen their independence.

Each year, we touch the lives of 3,000 men, women, and children who are facing homelessness, hunger, and extreme poverty. Lifting Up Westchester envisions a community where everyone has a stable place to call home. We believe that housing is the foundation on which a person’s well-being and advancement is built. With secure housing, we have the ability to focus on improving our health, education, and employment. Our team helps people find a home, build on that foundation, and achieve greater self-sufficiency.

Approximately 1,600 people are homeless each night in Westchester County — almost two-thirds are families with children.

For over four decades, Lifting Up Westchester has ensured that our neighbors have access to critical resources - like emergency shelter, nutritious food, stable housing, healthcare services, and academic mentoring - to help build the strong support systems necessary to regain their independence.

When we uplift the most vulnerable in our community, we all rise! Our interdependence upon each other makes our community thrive and prosper.

Lifting Up Westchester is uplifting individuals, which leads to stronger communities, a stronger economy, and a stronger society.
