HousingPlus is a Brooklyn-based nonprofit founded in 2002 that assists homeless women and families by providing both permanent and transitional housing along with a range of supportive services designed to help clients move from homelessness and poverty toward stability and independence. The program operates across eight settings in Brooklyn and Staten Island, delivering comprehensive, integrated services in safe, home-like environments. Its approach centers on leveraging clients' strengths from the outset, asking what they need to succeed and building on those assets within a framework of self-help principles. Based in Brooklyn, New York, the organization combines housing with coordinated supports to address housing instability and related challenges faced by women and families. In 2025, HousingPlus named Karen Ford as Chief Executive Officer, following the retirement of long-time leader Zimmer after 23 years.
