PATH DHS Assessment Shelter

The number works, they just purposely leave it on a busy signal in order not to take calls.

Few quick answers. All people on the case have to be present in order to be processed. Path won't, can't turn anyone needing shelter away. They will make it extremely hard so you'll leave but they HAVE to give you shelter. Let's break that down, they might not put you together but they will give each person some form of shelter be it family or single. Make sure to have all of your paperwork, most importantly proof of the last two years of residency. Again THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE SHELTER, BUT THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU QUIT SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO. The long waits, the condescending attitudes, the belittlement, the slow stripping away of your dignity is all a psychological design to break your hopes and spirits. Going in you know this, so don't let it. Good luck to each and every person who walks into that place. In the name of Jesus, May the blessings of The One True God Jehovah be upon you. Walk with patience, love, humility and peace. PS:10 days given to complete missing paperwor

What's a voucher for ? I'm new to this

Ok

I think you should go an see what they can do to help you. If it's something they can do to prevent you an your children from coming in the system they will let know. Path is not just a shelter..it's a agency.they can help with different situations and if they can't they will at least help you with other options or refer you to other agencies that can.

It's 7 days a week. 24hrs a day

I want to know if I can come in with my son

Go back to where you started. Be mindful that they take offense when you say you want to be moved to somewhere else. I had requested a new location and I was told you should be lucky that you were placed at all you could be on the streets. I'll keep you in my prayers because going through this process is very overwhelming

Yes they will help you it has nothing to do with your income just make sure your mother say you cant stay there no more

Yes you can buy it would be easier to take as little as possible till you are placed

You can go any time but I suggest you go early because if you go too late and you don't get processed on time you'll get placed in overnight which means you'll get sent to a communal shelter. Which it pretty much is a big room with a ton of beds. And then you have to come back the day after. Go early don't be lazy you'll miss your work day if you are working and your children can't go to school because They have to be present. Everyone that's going to be accepted has to be present. Expect to be there late the first day. They provide very basic meals. Bring a phone and a toy for your child if you have one. You will get 10 days in an apartment while they process your case. Don't lie tell the truth prepare yourself to give all the information you have. Tax documents bills ids and the such. The more the better. Pack blankets and sheets. And be patient. Be prepared to go back after the 10days to renew your 10ndays a few times until all your info is in order

They gonna make you abs your girlfriend get a domestic partnership

Yes, if you are in NYC, this will be your best bet. They will place you whether temporary or permanent. Everyone’s case is different but I hope you seek the help you need.

I had a friend come from NJ and she went through PATH to get her place here in NY. I believe they can't turn you away if you need shelter. Just be prepared for the process. It can take hours. They might try to send you back, but don't let them if you have no place to stay. I don't know what you could tell them, but if NY is where you want housing, make sure they don't jerk you around. Best of luck to you.

Yes I was in need of shelter so I went to Franklin Woman shelter for 2 weeks the take a covid test n send u to a spot until your results come back, however long story short I'm now at the Ramada Inn in the Bronx.... It's called Susan's place... But it's at a hotel bc of covid

They are always open...if ur gonna go on a holiday I suggest you try and go really early. Carry food, all ur documents and carry patience with you too...lmao A bible... Holy water... All the works 😂

Yes. They will also ask you if you want to go back to NC.

They help you faster with a DV case.... If you drop it they still won't let him come with you. They are strict with a DV case. Your husband will not be able to come with you.

There is a place called Covenant House in the city. Try them

If your boyfriend isnt the child's father and on there birth certificate they wont add him to ur case unless you guys are married or have a domestic partnership

They sent you to a hotel. It can be in the 5 boro

Yes you can go back where ever you want

Yes. 24/7 365

If your married you will both be accepted

Yes in due time

If you are on a lease you will be considered housed. You need Two years of rental history documemted and proven to become eligible for the services. It is best you have written proof that you are homeless.

It's not a all day process it depends on you and your situation and no it not only 10 days you have to do a 8-10 day placement then after the 8-10 days they will move u into your temp apartment until u get your real one

Even if you don't have ANY documents you can still receive help from PATH(EAU). You'll be given appointments to bring in your missing documentation. Also if you've EVER been on Public Assistance(welfare) your documents are in their system..it's the same agency😉

You need a birth certificate for your daughter with the father's name on it

Your ID and your socal security card. Your birth Certificate and your EBT CARD

You would have to already have had the baby. They need the socal security card and the birth certificate from you and the baby.

Yes! Until you get the divorce he is your husband and he has a responsibility, that responsibility is to his wife and children...after the divorce he is responsible for the children until the age of 21.

They are.... Need to get to safety? Have children? This is where you should go. You need an ID card or Welfare ID card with picture, birth certificate, S.S. card or green card, proof of a 2 year living history and reason for leaving your last address( like eviction letter, notarized letter from person you lived with.. Must have all people whom lived with you names, address and how long you was living with them.) And any medical records you may have on each person entering with you.. Also if your apart of Safe Horizon or Nova, make sure you have the letters from them or an Order Of Protection... I wish everyone gets the help they need and Many blessings toward your journey...🤗💖💯

You dont need either... Make sure his name is on the birth certificate... Thats all you need once the baby is born... You only need the things below if the baby is not born yet... Congratulations and many blessings to yall

Just show up there...

Okay thanks for letting me know

Overnight bag

Yes

I think you need some form of document proving you are a family, a domestic partnership qualifies. What PATH would do is put you in a temporary placement while they do their investigation and after that they will give you your permanent placement.

Only individuals/families with children

Thank you everyone

Yes.. Path is a family emergency shelter. There's shelters for single women and men throughout NYC.. Good Luck

As long as you have their birth certificates and s.s. card you should be good

They want ss cards and birth certificates for everyone and I'd for all adults

You would need to be found eligible for path to help. So you do need your documents (social, birth cert) for both of you. Also need to know why you left where you were, and do you not have any place to go. You can go to the social security office and order your SS card, and do the same for your birth cert. Personally I would go there, tell them your story and see what they advise you to do. In any case, you need those documents so get them if you can.

You enter the system and they assess your needs. You have to prove that you are homeless. They check prior addresses to make sure that there is no where for you to stay. Path is for families. If you are a single woman you go to Franklin women's shelter. Good luck on your journey. It's a process and can get frustrating just go with it.

I assume every shelter is different. When I went they placed me in a 1bedroom apt with my kids. Just make sure you have all of your birth certificates, socials and proof you have no where to go

They tell you it takes 6 months to a year to be out. I can relate to your anxiety but its a process that they have to make sure all your information is verified and that you are meeting all the qualifications. All I can say is be a little more patient and by the end of the year you should be in your own place. I wish you all the best

No. They will place you where there is space.

Unfortunately no unless he's a therapy dog. I went through the same. Had to find a foster for him

If the cops were called then you might have a problem. If not just keep it pushing.

It depends on if they have space somewhere. If they don't they will send you back.

If your partner's name is on the birth certificate of your child, you all will be eligible to apply for shelter together

They gonna ask u where u been at for 2 years and you need proof too

Bring court papers, birth certificates and any other paperwork you may have

If he the person on dv he'll no

In most cases yes but sometimes they would take u to a hotel if they where unable to

Yes

Woman shelter

Although PATH is a starting process for seeking shelter, the workers who attend to your case will guide you through seeking all forms of resources including vouchers. They will tell you to apply for public assistance which when approved allows you access to apply for a voucher. Hope this helps you better understand

Yes, that does not matter, but take all the papers in case they are asked

I would still need visitation even if it's not domestic

Ask your case manager for a transfer it may take a while unless it a safety issues then they can do a safety transfer

If you have DV issues it is quicker and safer. There are many agencies in PATH, Prayerfully you get a good agency

Yes

Just go to the path with all documents and list of past addresses and eviction papers but in order to be eligible you have to have no place to stay at all no friend or family with space for you or else they will make you ineligible if you have a place or an alternative

Most of the day but your family will get place

No..you would have to find a provider.

Ok I stay in Brooklyn how can apply for domestic partnership me and my man know each other 8 months

Licensed service animals only

Did that family ever get help

Yes

Okay thank you so much

You can get anyone that knew you lived there to write you a letter confirming that you once stayed at that address good luck and God bless you

I can go today to fill out the application or I have to go the same day, sorry

I work there as a security guard it the only place that could help you out if u donr have no where to go

Yes, you must have children with you or expecting to be considered a family in order to begin application process.

Are you two in the domestic partnership? do you have his name on your child's birth certificate? have that as proof that you are family also get proof that the order protection was dropped so you can present it at DHS most likely to send you to Nova

Great information ! I will share my story of my fiance, 5 year old son and me. I just got out of jail, my fiance has a decent job and we were being forced out of our apartment. Path helped us with 4 months rent, one month security, and $1,600 for furniture, or, whatever we needed to get settled in our new place. So, PATH actually works. Its worth the hassle.

Yes but be sure to pull out some proof that you lived there. Like tax documents or bank statements electricity cable or any other bills. Mailed atthat place with your name in them . As a last resort make the person who owns the place sign a letter stating that you lived there from x day month and year to x day month and year to put their phone number and address

Yes ma'am

It's 90 days. After that the city will give your caseworker the voucher and the case worker will then give it to you. Everyone gets a voucher but not all vouchers are the same. It's according to your income and family dynamics. Even single people receive vouchers. But you have to have an open active P.A. case (public assistance) UPDATE: Its 30 days now and you have to be eligible. Make sure you have an open P.A. case!! They have different programs to fit you and your family's needs. Get in contact with your caseworker to see what you're eligible for.

More than likely she is eligible. Usually once they start the HRA process it so they can get paid. Tell your friend i said stay strong as that system was created to deter people from seeking help!

Yes and yes go

Familys or couples that are domestic partnered or married yes you should be able to are you his care taker if so yes you can.

You have to wait until u are eligible then u can ask for a transfer only if u have proof like a medical reason or job or doctors offices for family to be closer to the bronx or vice versa... school is always an issue but to the system they feel u can always get bus service or its not an emergency.... due to lack of space for so many ppl in shelters going thru the same exact or different things they cant accommodate everyone unless its an emergency

U have to go to path tell them your situation then wait for placement for 10 days to see if they find appect your case if they appect your case you either stay at the placement you at or they put u in another placement bring your daughter the eviction papers and any other important papers that may be useful

Yes they will but you gotta be homeless with no where to go or stay

No you have to get to your job and take your son to school on your own, they don't help with transportation, go to HRA for that

Make sure you bring proof of domestic violence issues (order of protection, written police reports, court documents,etc)

Franklins Women's shelter is at 1122 franklin ave. 2 or 5 train to 149 3rd ave. Take the bx 15 or 21 to franklin or the bx 21 to 166th and boston rd

Go back to path.

@Dominique king Not all the time

No food or drinks allowed

Yes they can

Yes

Hello, yes they will take you all. It's a family shelter for couples or single parents with kids, and pregnant women without kids.

Just go with him and tell your story and what you need help with. Just let them know and it's open 24/7

Not really if he has a voucher you guys should look for housing unless you got into shelter on your own and get your own voucher

A girlfriend and a boyfriend will not be placed together unless they have a domestic partnership issued and furthermore Path is not the place foor service AFIC IS THE PLACE FOR SERVICE

U need to go to covenant house..u can't get service at path if your under 18 your bf has to go to a single mens shelter preferably Bellevue 29th st 1st ave....

Are you at PATH or AFIC? PATH is very crowded and the process can sometimes takes all day. You may even be placed overnight and brought back the mezt day to continue the process

I work at PATH and you should definitely come and apply for shelter if you are homeless / don't have a place to stay. All of the shelters are not dirty

Only if you have doctors paper to say that pet is an emotional support pet..

No acs will not get involved path will help you find permanent housing so you can get help on finding an apartment

Come in to Path you only will be help, and they will address your problems. They are here 24/7 .

If they are your kids ,go with their Birth Certificate.

Your case worker from the place where you at if you in a shelter have to help you apply to see if you are eligible..

Yes. Just make sure you bring the correct paperwork... Good Luck

Nope... They will accept you and your child if your paperwork is in order... They will recommend that he goes to a men's shelter.. Which is Horrible!!!!! But you can definitely try.. Good Luck

No. They won't place you until everything is verified.. So don't waste your time or there's by going there without the proper paperwork.. Good Luck

Yes, you have to either be pregnant or have children.

I suggest you going into the office for services.

Good thing is that you don't need a case to get into the shelter as of yet when they place you they want you to get all that stuff so when you go to path. However you can get a domestic partnership with the person you are pregnant by to get into the shelter. And you have to make a reservation for that at the city hall for $35 Ive been to path they will help especially if you're working they're will get you an apartment in 90days or less . Peace and Love hope everything goes well 😘🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

You have to just go in person. I called 3 times and no one ever answered. I finally had to just go up there

No not at all

You should not worry about them splitting you and your sister up, go do the process so that you can have a place to sleep, you can always go visit your sister.

Absolutely

I'm pretty sure. I heard they also help individuals but I'm not that positive.

Legally 48 hours but I would do 24hours to be on the safeside

They 24hours jus be prepared to be there for a long time. Especially if its your first time

Do you have to bring your child.

Yes you can

The wife has to go into the shelter with the kids, and the husband has to stay away. The shelter has an investigation division..

They give you time to gather what you need but you have to have the child present to apply

About 6month to 1year

Yes. As long he is the kids father and his name is on the birth certificate

No because you have a place to stay. Even though you are staying in the living room. But if your mom kicked you out or said you and your child could no longer live with her, then yes you could. Being on her section 8 may cause an issue... but I'm not sure. I say this because they will do an investigation before deciding to place you and your child in a shelter.and if your mom is still willing to house both of you when they ask, you will get denied help.

You can Google the address for path in Manhattan

Even thought his with the dad most of the time. You'll will have to do the process with him and some shelters won't let u stay unless ur child is with u

Lmbo... Highly doubt it at all. He would have to have a place to watch the child.

No only. For families

Yes they will deff help

Same way, you go there but instead of seeing workers they call your phone

No

No

Since there's no birth certificate yet to connect him to the baby, or marriage certificate to connect him to you. You'll have to get a domestic partnership down at the court house for only $35.

You to be in a domestic partnership

Just call them and they will help you. Don't be afraid

Thankfully the systems taking precautionary step such as testing but it is all about bed availability

Have everyones birth certifigates and a partnership document from the court house.

Yes just go and take u and ur daughters social and birth certificate. They will help u

Yes but u guys have to get a domestico partnership with ur sister

Yes they are, and everything is done thru a phone call now , there are only important main staff and security there , you just give them you number and anybody you are supposed to see for an appointment will just call you

No they will not give all three a room separately yes

Yes It's A Family Shelter And You Will Be Put In A Room For You And Your Son Alone . With Sleep Area . You Will Go To Cafeteria For Your Meals , And Use The Bathroom On The Floor Where Your Room Is .

That's a Vd my dude

If yall have a child together and yall are both on the birth certificate yes.

Yes its open 24 hrs

They will.

Go to the court system n become domestic partners

Yes same day yes we did my wife and kids here right now 25 junius street homeless shelter

They just place you. The wait time is 2 days at PATH

Get police report then taking it saying u feel unsafe at home

If you don't have documentation you get time to return with them afterwards there might be one in your borough or state.

Yes, But they MUST BE MARRIED.... And you must bring paperwork to prove you are married. And have paperwork showing your past residence and your eviction notice.. Good Luck.

If you are married yes

What type of programs? Not sure you would have to ask your case worker.. But you can call 411 and inquire what types of free programs the city offers.. Good Luck

You should call your case worker. (Where you received the section 8 voucher) U received the original voucher because u were homeless.. Call and speak with someone before you enter the shelter. It's like going backwards Good Luck!!

I was just there long as u have I'd u good

Nope. Not unless your mother takes you off her welfare case and evicts you, and has a certified letter stating you can no longer live with her. And remember path is a family emergency shelter. Good Luck

If you're have no paper work with your baby daddy's name he can not be on your case. You would need a domestic partnership certification

More than likely!! But you will probably have to do your own search,, And find a place that will accept whatever voucher/program you have is acceptable to the guidelines.. Good Luck

Sorry to hear what you are Going Through.. First you shouldn't/don't have to leave the house with your kids.. Take him to court for child support and get a order against him.. You can go to path, it's a family shelter for u and your children, and get assistance for housing.. Good Luck

Be careful, if they find out that your son's kids can stay with you for months at a time, it can make their mother ineligible for assistance.

So basically I have to wait to be evicted and then go?

Dhs.nyc.gov

Would they still help me if i dont have children

Nope. They will not admit any type of animal into the shelter,

?? In what/where??? U need birth certificates for everyone entering the shelter, And your eviction notice from your previous residence.. Good Luck

You need identification to prove who you are.

Nope!!!! They will definitely investigate You, several times.. And if they find out that you are deciving them, you might be marked as a fraudulent case. And be Denied permanently.. Be Honest... Good Luck

The earlier you get there, the better. There are ppl who spent nights in overnights and they pick them them up and take them there. They are still in the process as well to find placement where they can stay for more than 10 days to be found eligible. It may take all day and it may be temporary until the investigation is complete, etc. Best.

Of course you can. You'll go to a family shelter

Doesn't sound Right.. When you went to path, did you have all of the proper paperworkDo you have children? And did you have an eviction notice from your last place of residence? And they should've explained why they couldn't help you.. I would ask to speak with concerning your situation.. Good Luck

You need to get s domestic partnership. I would do that first so that you don't have problems going into path.

They are open 24/7 all holidays

You'll be removed from the temporary housing facility and They'll explain their decision and give you a chance to produce documentation to reverse their findings. Good luck

Only if she's taking you off the lease and is telling you to get out, or she's evicting you and your daughter.. You will have to have the proper paperwork when applying to enter the path shelter. So make sure your mother is evicting you before you leave for the shelter Good Luck

Yes.

Thats a hot line and its severely busy.

Yes, u can go back to path. But you'll need to have proof of your mother evicting you!! And when they verify with your mother hopefully she doesn't change her MIND.. Good Luck

Yes it does...you would have to go to 400 East 30th Street and they will help you

You would have to go to 400 East 30th street and go through the process because it caters to adults without children

We don’t have kids it’s just me n my sister in-law we wanna go in there together

As long as you weren't living there for 30 days, then they will say you are ineligible. I was told that the person would have to get a court order to evict you if they really want you out

If approved they will then place you in a family shelter until you get permanent housing. 10 day placement is to see if you're eligible. Good luck on your journey. It can be stressful but don't give up. God bless.

You can go to path, but you must bring all of your documentation, why you can't stay at your families home..and paper work

Gina she don't want me there and there is no space

Yes , it's a shelter for families.. They will send you to a different shelter if u r a single woman or single man

Yes. As long as they can provide the proper paperwork, For the children and yourself

They will give you a 10. day placement. During which they will find you eligible. After that they will place you in a family shelter until your housing needs are done. They will place you the same day you go. Please go soon. This weather is going to be brutal. Be patient and trust the process. Good luck to you and your family.

You have to have your children with you. I know it's a hassle but you don't want to be turned away. Good luck on your journey.

Can I got to path if I'm 14 weeks pregnant and homeless? And what kind of documents do I need to bring?

How old are you? 18 and over go to single person shelter. Female is on Franklin Ave.

I'm sorry to hear that but unfortunately eventhough they have your information, they will still need your documents

Please call PATH. I am not sure if PATH will take you under 18 years of age without an adult. Good Luck!!!

You can come to the intake office and they will place you and your children in a shelter. Bring all the birth certificates, social security cards, picture identification and the dv information. Just bring everything you can get your hands on.

PATH is open 24 hours. The day you come into PATH... whether weekend or weekend they do your assessment and give you a place overnight.. Good Luck!

Not sure. But, I know that Catholic Charities, CAMBA and HRA helps with back rent

Yes, anything and everything you have would be beneficial for you. Whatever you don't have they will give you two to three days to get it and bring it back

Yes just bring proof of your last residence, birth certificates for everyone your I'd.. And you should be good to go

How is he suppose to prove hes the father if the child is not born yet ?

Or instead of going to PATH which can be an all day thing, try Catholic Charities

You have to have a domestic partnership. Because you're pregnant you have no proof t.hat he is the father of your child.

They should place you in a family shelter or a hotel due to your pregnancy. Best...

Yes .. U can contact the shelter where u r, And ask them if they can help you out with transportation to your home state, NY

If it's off that nature you will need police records to prove this still. Order of protections, police reports, history of documents violent crimes will suffice. Good luck

No but they will place you in a single womens shelter. That may mean no privacy to sleep. Best T.

PATH choose where you stay, Some are hotels, apartment building, and rooms. There hotels are every borough only PATH has those listings. Your stay at this time is from one year or more. HRA pays for the stay in the Shelter, even if toir are working you must have an open PA Case.. You won't get Food Stamps, Medicaid or Cash but the shelter will get paid. I hope this helps you... Good Luck.

You have to have non on board with kicking you out legally. She can to housing court and ask for a free document titled 10 day voluntary vacate form. What this means is she can say she gave you 30 day to leave which you didn't and this is the first step before legal eviction. Second option go to court and you and him get a domestic partnership which is I believe 30 dollars. Good luck

Yes you can and they will give you the assistance you need to get back into your apartment. The whole idea is for you and your family stay out the system.

Flu above all .

Your both have to go with the baby, and you need proof of addres for the las 2 year baby birth certificate your ID social security and if you can go really early before 10 AM because if not your going to spend all day in there

Permanent as in housed in a family shelter for the duration of your stay so long as you stay compliant of the rules and regulations

I don't think there's an age cap for children living with their parents.

Uhh ur last address/ lease/ past residancy letter. A letter stating from landlord that you cannot live there anymore. Birth certificate. Social sercurity. And be aware that ur gonna have to plead ur case with them they will push ur buttons and try to turn you back but its all about patience and being strong.

U just need proof that u CANNOT go back to there to live for whatever reason they cant force ur landlord or whoever to make u continue to live there. So you might need a letter with ur landlord stating that along with proof they u were living there

It's not every 10 days. When they first place you it's only for a 10 day placement to determine if in fact you are eligible. Once you've been found eligible then you have to sign paper work detailing what is expected of you at your particular shelter. Don't get frustrated. Just try and go with the flow. I wish you the best on your journey.

That was a question💁🏿💁🏿

Im not sure but don't waste your time anyway. They aren't gonna get what your sending because no one man's the machine and also they don't answer the phone to see if your information was received. Just bring it in, good luck

When you are a single person they send you to a women's shelter. You share a space. Franklin women's shelter has no single rooms. It's more like 5 or 6 people to a dorm. You get your own closet space but everything else is shared. It can seem overwhelming but it is what you make of it. I was there. Good luck on your journey.

Honestly if you want Staten island you should do the shelter in Staten Island... There's no law or regulations that say they must place you where you work or want...it's whatever is available according to the Shelter system ...best of everything

That's BS They are placing people in the Bronx and Manhattan so that overcrowded comment it's not relevant. SO Im going to get a ACS Case because my daughter not going to School. NEXT ANSWER PLZZ THAT WOULD ACTUALLY HELP NOT DEFEND A SYSTEM THATS SUPPOSE TO HELP NOT DESTROY

Families with children.

Go to PATH with the necessities for u and your child. Make sure U have a two year knowledge of where u stayed and bring all forms of identity documentation.

Also .

Everyone that constitutes a family unit will be placed; however, being place doesn't mean you are eligible for service. An investigation is done and then after you are given the determination

For that reason they probably will find you ineligible. They have to kick you out or get into a fight or have absolutely no space and you have to have had no place else to go.

Can you prove that? I'm asking because they will send someone to that house to verify that it's not safe for you to be there.

As a young adult Path is not the place for you. Path is a assessment place for families.

Ms Myers you need to have a proof of identity to identify yourself.

I believe so. My friend went in and they help him with getting his papers in order

Yes but the process is longer and different

Last I remember they deny any food or beverages coming into the facility because they say they can provide you with food in there but you'd have to test and see for yourself. I have gotten away with baby food and unopened bottled water so good luck.

You have to speak with your case manager but normally you are sent back to PATH to start the process all over again but be mindful, your constant lack of attendance will make them think you have somewhere else to stay so try and avoid the same mishaps. Also try Safe Horizon in case PATH denies you shelter

Thats fine. Actually might be better for you. The shelter wants you to have an open PA case to help with housing and furniture so they might make you join back to work or some kind of program to help you obtain a job

They have to be family and just come over and add them on but you must go back to path

Yes but you can have it that he can stay with his dad on the weekend s

Don't think that they will expedite your case but you will be placed quickly. Congrats on your bundle o0 joy. Best wishes.

Just let them know do you have a police report?

Who violated the agreement?

Have all your documents: children's birth certificates and social, children's father(s), last place of residence lease. Copies and original. They will forward you to the Child Support office and if you are seeking a voucher you will need an active public assistance case. God Bless you and your family. If you don't mind I'd love to have a shot at that apartment you are leaving if you can help me please and thank you

Family shelter but they will send you two the court building to get a domestic parnership.

Usually in hotels. Me and my son are also at a hotel and its pretty great were comfortable until we move

You have to go to men's shelter. Path is for families.

Since your pregant you can go to path because they take families and pregnant women.

If they have children they can. If it's a single person then you have to go to a woman or man shelter. Are they here legally? Because that's whole nother thing.

Yes you have to have children if not there's a women's shelter on Williams Street in Brooklyn

Yes you do. Without the baby you will be referred to a single woman shelter.

That is a good question. They will investigate everything so after they investigate if this is the same man that you had the DV case with , I'm gonna be honest they may or may not allow the both of you go into the shelter together. You can try as I said I'm not sure but I do know everything is in the system. I hope everything works out

Yes they do, as long as you have documentation showing you're the father like her birth certificate

Your lease

Yes

Good luck!!

You have to wait until you are 18

Yes they will, you will need all your documents .

Yes they have diapers and baby foods for babies, they also serve breakfast and lunch throughout the day but it's not that good, and prepare to wait long hours there, good luck.

You can keep going back. I recommend you stick with it. Don't leave. Now if they denied you then I suggest you speak to a supervisor about your situation. Good luck.

U can take most personal belongings with u no furniture or large tvs or knives of any kind as they do have metal detectors there and they dont allow food from outside they fo have a food pantry on site

As long as he is on the birth certificate he can.

What does the paper say as far as you being ineligible?

When I was married and I was in the system, we (my child included)was placed in like a studio that had a bathroom a kitchenette a stove and a refrigerator.

Sometimes it depends on the situation sometimes they go to the residence to see if they have space for u and or if the number u have doesn't pick up

Once i have a state id u good

Ok, because you're 16 they may not. Like I said earlier, go there and take everything that you have and your boyfriend has to come with you

Exactly that is technically a family how old is your boyfriend will determine head of household

Do you have children? This shelter is for families. If you are single you go to Franklin women's shelter. Good luck to you.

Do red flags for dv with no police report go as away?

No they do not

Call 611

Yes if you have children they will not let you become homeless. I would go to them as soon as possible so that they can help you to get the money to stop the eviction. Bring whatever paperwork you have, birth certificates, any bills you may have in your name and please bring the court documents. There's a lot of resources out there for you and your family.

They check on your living arrangements, your job and your children. You have to make sure you give them everything they ask for

Families

U have to go before 5pm

Yes

Just bring them down to path with there birth certificate and social but how of are the and ways the relationship to you

A woman shelter until after you have the baby

U will get ur own room but might have to share kitchen and bathroom but it all depends on path

When you go there let them know your situation and they will assist you.

You should be done with everything by 3

No

Yes you do

PATH is for those who aren't in a home at all so neither if you need not waste your time to go there as you'll be seeking shelter and you may lose your current place to only be denied a new location. Do not risk it.

Talk to ur worker

Yes please seek help, you need to stay safe....good luck and blessings to you,!

They will, but he will have to get it. You must be in a domestic partner ship or married to be able to go in together.

Yes. You will be put in a family shelter. Which is better than a single shelter. Good luck

I was told by an employee there that one shot deals are for moving expenses only, they will supply you with one way ticket if you wish to leave NYC either plane or bus or train, i.e. amtrak.....only one way to not return and it depends on the circumstances of yr case....good luck..

No

39 auburn in broolyn

Not a problem they ask if you need transportation all you have to say is no just directions how to get there.

Your family would be placed in either of the five boroughs .

Most shelters have a no visitors policy. You will probably have to wait in the lobby for them to come down. Unless you are on the case comp you won't be able to go up to the unit.

Yes go apply.

Its on your paper work that they will give u

No, but I've seen many people get outside food in

They make it hard basically u have to depend on them might as well only have 1 job.

Yes you can go

Yes you can you will have to start over and they will ask the same questions

I believe so. They tell you if you don't qualify that you can go back. So I don't think there's a limit.

Yes...add on adults before 4pm.

No the dont you have to transfer your children once you get place

I got a question because I got the linc2 and they didn't pay my rent and I was evicted in December, I went to path and they put me in the shelter but was pressing me and asking if I got a person to stay with they would pay them $500 . I however leave the shelter and went to live with a church brother who only took me in because he's also looking help with his rent. Now I got to be paying this man $500 out of pocket for rent plus $50 for light and gas , paying storage because I can't bring my stuff here , they don't give me any food stamps or nothing. Now I'm on my own with 2 kids and only working part time.so I guess I'm also one of the forgotten family

That would be up to them. Rules and regulations

Family shelter first

No he is to young they interview you or a spouse or baby father about the last place you lived in the phone number in contact of that person

Go there

Call them and they will answer all your questions

Yes but you will need to prove paternity and possibly have to get a domestic partnership

Yes

If u was elgible u might have to start over until ur found back elgible n there gonna wanna know were u been n da 48hrs gone

no

The WIC offices provide milk, cereal, peanut butter & a few other things

You'd have to ask the office itself. Cases are activated with all persons present.

They refuse to answer any calls

Just go and follow through with the instructions. They will guide you the right way.

Housing help my daughter and I may have to leave the apartment. Pending and eviction.

Yes it will be opened

Sometimes it can be difficult I pray it work out

Yes you should be fine.

Yes or just get a Domestic Partnership Certificate so you guys can go through it together. You can obtain a Domestic Partnership Certificate at the County Clerk office on 161st Street Supreme Court building in the lower level. Hope this helps. Good luck.

At least two weeks

I don't think you have to have the same address to get the Domestic Partnership you just have to the same ID if he has social security card then you have to have that so can get the Domestic Partnership and cost about$35 to$40

Always call first

Yes. Bring all documents for yourself and be patient good luck

Have a child under your care and proof of you being homeless. Along with the usual amount of documentation to prove identification

Yes it's only for families. If only for families if you are solar you have to go to a shelter for singles

Yes they should

Hello there well it goes like this if you had the baby already and they see his name on the birth certificate. Then it's a go. But since they can't determine that just yet you need the partnership.

That's not true..but it also depends on your case and your situation. That determines which floors you have to go too.

24 hours 7dsys a week

No single men must go to 30th St in Manhattan

If you currently have no child with you PATH is not an option However we have single women shelters available

No..you would need a birth certificate. Y'all might still be able to get a domestic partnership.

No this is only for families. You would have to apply to a singles shelter

8am starts process so 7:30am is a good time

I think you have to live in Puerto Rico at least two years

You will be happy with results

Yes you'll have to miss the whole day.

If its your first time at Path you must bring your children with you. If you are employed you definitely can go to Path but keep in mind that Path will try its best to find alternatives for you

👍🏾

Your option is to just travel to PATH with their birth certificates and your government ID and you will get the help you need. It's opened 24hrs.

Since your in Westchester it's best to apply with Westchester county first if they deny you with the denial letter then u can apply at Patg

No, the worst scenario will be you and your daughter may be in a family shelter while if found ineligible, he will go to men's shelter but hopefully not

Yes id as well

A question if the program paid me the ticket to return to puerto rico and it did not go well and I want to return would accept me or how long do I have to wait

They don't answer the phones you have to go to Path.

It is not a shelter. They will house you temporarily, and, permanently.

There's no email. They will just have to come in and go through the process.

Good evening and you must have social security card for you and the baby and the birth certificate for everyone and their going to ask you for the past two years where you was staying and can you stay there and you tell him or her to tell them that you can't stay no longer and after you are eligible for help you have to be in the shelter for ninety days and then they put in the paperwork for different programs

As long as you can manage it. Or try storage. Let them know they can help.

Get a domestic partnership and they will accept you guys, otherwise, no

If that's the story. They will follow that and try to get proof for it. Write a letter saying that you're no longer welcome at x place and make her sign it.

Yes just bring proof

Sorry to hear that. All the Blessings in the world to y'all. Most likely Birth Certificate, They will ask you why or what made you come there. They will ask if you have a place to go to? Even though you saying y'all need a place to stay. It can get a little frustrating. But please don't get discourage, at the end of the day thia is so y'all can have a roof over your head to call home. Good Luck Hun. Don't give up!!!!

You need to get the domestic partnership

Bring two years worth of proof that you lived there and a letter saying your mother dont want you living there no more signed by her. Tax documents Bill's anything mailed to you with your current address and name on it for the last 2 years. Also all your Id s and documents for you and your child

He can work, just let the case manager and the people at the shelter know. If he can get a letter with his work hours that would help more.

U will just have 2 start the process over,unless u were in the hospital.Any emergency u have you should notify someone at path

When you leave they still harass you that’s I find that really awkward 🙄

What if she has a child, but has no custody due to a ACS case

A legal hold is a process that an organization uses to preserve all forms of relevant information when litigation is reasonably anticipated

So if mymother says I cannot come back is that enough

I think your case worker will contact you,or, you contact them for a copy.

No ur taxes has nothing to do with ur income

I didnt have a problem calling. Go to the main office in the Bronx, u will be helped immediately.

I believe you have to live in the 5 borrows.

no you can not go to path . that is a family shelter

You need to have a domestic partnership paper to be accepted as a couple into PATH DHS system. The other issue is that they can deny you based on being an out of state resident. Your going to need to have a NYC address to apply, without one they will send you back to Georgia, even with one there is a chance they will deny your application and send you back to Georgia. They are going to consider you an out of state resident, you can try to fight it, but they are going to do everything they can to deny you and send you back to Georgia. Family shelter system in NYC is currently above capacity and there are no housing programs, families are stuck stagnant in the system unable to obtain affordable housing for a few years on average. Many families are being reported to NYC children's services(ACS) by DHS and shelter staff, kids are being removed & placed into foster care in what is a disgusting effort by Mayor DeBlasios administration to lower the numbers.

No she has no kids

Without a domestic partnership it will be difficult to enter the family shelter system with her boyfriend, if there's no domestic partnership paper, you need to have years worth of paperwork & mail to prove common law marriage/relationship. The next issue is since she is currently married she's not eligible for a domestic partnership. The only way around the issue is to apply and hope to get temporary 10-day shelter for applicants whose application is being reviewed, usually because they need to provide documentation. The problem with it is, there's no guarantee of getting accepted for temporary shelter, plus it's a huge inconvenience, because if you're unable to provide the necessary paperwork in the 10-day time limit, you have to start all over again reapplying at Path & go through the entire application process again, typically being placed in a different location & while this is going on you do not receive any services to help you, so you really just get stuck in a revolving limbo.

No they are not, they will tell you to get rid of your animals. They will not consider them as part of the family unfortunately.

U have bring whoever gonna live with u

They are very difficult, so many people have abused the system that it's become very difficult. They aren't friendly and you are honestly better off finding a friend to stay with

They will help depending on what you need. From food to housing. They also hand breakfast lunch and dinner to all who need in the path itself

Sorry but i don't know

U can still get help

If u have a job the site that u are staying at, ur counselor should had put ur schedule on file so that u can be excused for ur lateness. .. if it wasn't done that means staff messed up... now if u are logged out go back to path with proof of why u was out and they will send u rite back to the same spot...

Yes if you go now you will be placed in a overnight and then will be picked up around 6am to go back to path to get your placement shelter if you dont want to do a overnight uts best to be there by 6:30am

Try calling 311 they give u Path number

It's for ppl with kids. N yes you eventually get a voucher

So what is the best time to be there?And do your children need to be present ?

Its def an all day process you can be there up to 12 hours before being placed my opinion is to go as early as possible because the earlier you go the best chance you have of being placed The same day

Would have to either be pregnant or have a child in your custody. Head to the intake center at Bellevue instead. 400-430 East 30th Street New York, NY 10016 You will need to bring proof of your domestic partnership.

Yes New York City Department for the homeless does not discriminate against people

No number

She can and u also can do something as well by court

Path is only for pregnant women and families with children

Wow I'm sorry

If you're making to much they aren't going to help you

No singlez couples or familys only tjere is a si gle eomens shelter on franklon ave in the brinx

Have to wait

You would need to be married or have a domestic partnership than they would be about to place you guys together

Yes u wjll get help

Not unless they marry, or she gives birth and his name is on the birth certificate, generally speaking.

There are for couples

R u domestic partnera

Yes they will but let them know about that when u r there so they can place u right

You get your own space with your family

Yes

Thank you is it along process when adding

Yes they do just walk with the marriage certification birt certification paper if you get evicted walk with it eviction note the reason why you left your apartment or why you can't stay there no more

I recomend you guys go to Manhattan adult shelter coz path is more for families with minors...

PATH is a place where you can go when you don't have a place to sleep or if you are about to be locked out of your apartment with your family's.

Because he is not in the birth certificate your gonna need a domestic partnership from city hall

Yes

So i would have to leave the placement im at??

Go back to thd shelter

Yes

Just keep reapplying

What if I have 3 kids I receive 4,000 a month

Yes

Yes they do

They call and they go there to

Just go in!!!!

It's a process and just be prepared for attitudes when you go there.

Yes if he was living with you prior to going to path you have to prove you share the same previous address, get a document that you both have with the same address

Because they don't answer phones, you have to walk in

No they cannot, if it's court ordered they have to abide by that court order.

Yes U can go

Thankyou so much we are leaving tonight to go there

Yes , married or not married once a child is with you , yes you are a family.

It is a refuge for families who have no home.

You can but u have to go back to path to do that bring all nesscary paperwork n the person with u path has to approve the person

They can deny u yes i was denyed with a dusables husband n new born baby in the middle the storms in 2013 they dont care but make sure everything is in line.

They place you same day.

Birth certificates socials and ids

If u have a child in common and the child has that mans last name u have custody or u r a caretaker of the person. Who is the person to u.

Yes i beleive so but maybe not.

If they are in school i suggest u keep tgem out n bring them. You will be there allday n i personally think its better to bring all children that are going to go into the shelter

Path is gonna put you in a place for 10days to see if your eligible based on your documents and if u are it will be your temporary place until you get found housing for u and ur family. Youre going to be at path all day and you cant bring outside meals in so prepare

No food allowed

Early in the morning. They say its open 24hrs but the doors open 8:30 and it usually be a line waiting. But that doesnt matter you will still be there all day

Youre gonna have to bring proof of everything for you, your family and your household. Bring all your papers with you but expect to be stressed out cause the process can be difficult. And thats just the waiting process

Yes they do

Yes they should go in and if u do go there in the morning at 6am

Only if u move to New York is the only way they will help

Yes they do

Yes they will

Nope path is for families with children...people coming alone or with just a spouse will be sent to manhattan placement center

No ...u have to go toaffic in Manhattan

Request a transfer to your case manager

It is bad they have you waiting all day for housing its dirty and nasty place. One place they sent me and my children to had bed bugs

2 dayz

They never answer the phone . You have to go there.

So we have to be married we can’t just be together ?? We have been together for 2 years

It depend if u can submit proof that your homeless. And you have no friends or relatives that would be able to house you. Sure u would get some assistance if you were previously receiving any assistance they will go back to that address and or any mailing address they have on file for you. If at any point one of the addresses permit you to stay for even a fee they will pay that and send you back to the address.

Because they never do they job & they miserable people & dont care about the phones have to show in person spend your whole day there

If it just your bf he needs to go to a all man shelter. Not path

Thats not true. But $35 is the cost for a domestic partner ship. You have to be either married or have a valid birth certificate that has the father listed as the father on the document. For ppl that has neither they have to go get a domestic partner ship

They will do the whole 10day investigation where you was staying at out of state.. and they are going to ask you is there any other place for you to stay

You have to be married or get a domestic partnership down at city hall

To be head of household or to go in the shelter? It really doesnt matter as along as you have kids and homeless they cant deny you

So theres nothing i can do

Its open everyday

Yes

Same here could never get anyone to answer

Were u ELIGIBLE ?!

Yes you can go in together, and you can always add him on your section 8 by going downtown Brooklyn section 8 office and filling out the paper work
