This requires collaboration between the NYC Human Resources Administration (HRA), who oversees all DV shelters in NYC and the existing CAPS system, the Mayor’s Office to End Domestic and Gender-Based Violence (ENDGBV), which operates the five Family Justice Centers (FJCs), a key entry point for survivors to have their shelter and housing needs met, community-based organizations that provide shelter and housing services to DV/GBV survivors, and survivors of DVGBV who have experienced homelessness.
