Heartshare

Heartshare champions and empowers New York City’s most overlooked and underestimated by promoting health and well-being, creating stability, and unlocking futures.

Heartshare supports two specific populations across all of New York City: children and adults with developmental disabilities, and children and families dealing with the trauma associated with family separation. Each population faces its own distinct set of challenges and obstacles, and we are set up accordingly to meet them with understanding, evidence-based solutions, and interconnected programming.

While the actual work of each focus area varies, Heartshare as a whole is driven by a few guiding principles. These ideas form the foundation of all work, from how we judge our success to how we set ambitious plans for the future.

We amplify the voices of those whom society overlooks and underestimates, providing opportunities for them to be heard and listened to.

We adapt to meet unmet needs by going where the problems are and filling the gaps while always building, adapting, and improving.

We build pathways forward by removing barriers and opening up opportunities so that those we support can both own and create their own futures.
