The New York Institute for Human Development concentrates almost all of its funding on housing and supportive-housing initiatives in New York City, with a clear preference for Catholic-affiliated social service providers. Grants are typically program-specific, supporting critical housing support services and operational costs for residential care and affordable housing projects. The foundation's portfolio is tightly focused geographically and top-heavy, funding a small set of repeat grantees that deliver shelter, housing stability, and related client supports.
The largest recent grant from New York Institute for Human Development Inc. was $785,000 to Catholic Charities Community Services Archdiocese of New York for critical housing support services. That single award fits a clear pattern: the foundation directs its giving to housing stability work in New York, with grants aimed at keeping shelter, supportive housing, and related residential services operating. Its recent portfolio is concentrated among a small set of nonprofits that provide direct services or operate housing programs. Association of New York Catholic Homes Inc received multiple awards for program costs, including $292,000 in 2023, while Catholic Charities Community Services Archdiocese of New York received repeated support across years for the same housing-support purpose. The foundation also funded New York City housing providers such as Second Farms Affordable LLC, Highbridge Community Housing Development Fund Corp, and Betances Partners LLC. The pattern points to a funder that supports ongoing housing operations rather than one-time special projects. Grants are used for shelter-related services, case management, residential care, and affordable housing development tied to vulnerable residents in New York City.
Housing stability is the clearest throughline in the foundation’s giving. In 2025, it awarded $785,000 to Catholic Charities Community Services Archdiocese of New York to provide critical housing support services, and it made the same type of award to the same organization in prior years as well. The foundation also backs Catholic-affiliated residential care. Association of New York Catholic Homes Inc received $292,000 in 2023 and later awards in 2024 and 2025 for program costs, indicating support for the operating side of congregate or licensed housing. Affordable housing development in New York City appears in the portfolio too. Second Farms Affordable LLC received $43,626 in 2023 for critical housing support services, while Highbridge Community Housing Development Fund Corp received $17,451 for the same purpose. Across these grants, the emphasis stays on direct housing-related services rather than broad grantmaking across unrelated fields.
