Urban Pathways and The Children’s Village

Urban Pathways (UP), a New York-based nonprofit founded in 1975, is dedicated to combating homelessness through housing and supportive services, while simultaneously advocating for systemic change. The Children’s Village (TCV), founded in 1851, works in partnership with families to promote the well-being of young people through housing, education, and advocacy. Each year, TCV’s Dobbs Ferry campus provides short-term residential care for more than 800 youth – and its other community-based programs reach over 17,000 children and their families. NFF’s $2.75 million loan, with a 50% participation from Leviticus Fund, will support Urban Pathways and The Children’s Village in creating a 123-unit permanent affordable and supportive housing development in the Bronx. This project will feature 43 units allocated for low-income households and 80 units designated for formerly homeless individuals and young adults transitioning out of foster care. This investment will connect more than a hundred people to affordable housing, providing individuals and families with the stability of a secure living environment.
