Our Housing Success Specialists work intensively with guests to find, move in, and adjust to their new homes/communities. After this initial transition (usually 6 to 12 months), contact is limited.Supportive Housing: for clients with specific qualifying conditions, ongoing case management and financial support is provided to ensure they remain stably housed. Case managers are assigned long-term clients and may support them for years in maintaining their housing and wellbeing. LUW has four supportive housing programs - HOPWA, Ryan White, RAP/OMH, and Turning Point.In 2023, LUW housing programs helped 246 individuals secure and maintain housing. 3100651 SHELTERS: LUW operates two shelters in White Plains that provide a safe place to stay, nutritious food, case management, counseling, and referral services for single men and women experiencing homelessness. Samaritan House is our 17-bed women's shelter; and Open Arms is our 38-bed men's shelter. Both facilities serve as emergency drop-in shelters with capacity for 20 additional adults. In 2023, the shelters provided 563 individuals with 18,016 nights of shelter and approximately 45,040 meals. All shelter guests receive case management support, employment services, and housing placement services. 576041 YOUTH SERVICES: LUW helps young people succeed regardless of their background or circumstances. A suite of educational programming gives students the tools needed to break the cycle of poverty and achieve a more secure future.

Summer Camp provides a recreational and academically enriching summer camp experience for children who are homeless or extremely low-income.
