Over the past three years, our grantees have improved the lives and economic prosperity of nearly 10,000 individuals in some of the most poverty-entrenched neighborhoods in New York City. Their success stems from a stick-to-it approach that results in a continuum of services to help put individuals on the road to economic independence.<\/div>\n

Take T.C.,\u00a0a young woman who over the past few years has been helped by New Settlement Apartments.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

When T.C was 13, she witnessed a shooting that resulted in her experiencing debilitating anxiety and post-traumatic stress. She was unable to attend high school and, sometimes, she couldn’t even leave her home.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

At the age of 17, T.C decided to take charge of her life. She was determined to earn her High School Equivalency Diploma\u00a0and enrolled in New Settlement Apartments’ Pathways to Graduation program. Her tenacity and drive helped her stay focused and she qualified for the exam in just two months. Moreover, she passed with the highest score of any participant.<\/div>\n
