Families in the homeless system are housed in two transitional apartment building in New York city, as well as one transitional shelter in westchester county.

During fiscal year 2021, 464 women and children were served in these safe, dignified, gender-responsive, and trauma-sensitive environments. Providence house also received donated services amounting to $86,115.
Providence house operates four permanent supportive housing sites in Brooklyn. The four buildings offer private apartments for individuals and families who have struggled with chronic homelessness, mental illness, chemical dependence, or other barriers to stability. A number of units are also available as affordable rentals for members of the community who meet income guidelines. Social work and case management services are available on-site, as are a number of community-building, social, and recreational events. In fiscal year 2021, 101 people resided in the four supportive housing facilities.
In fiscal year 2021, providence house continued its program model to serve women who would otherwise be detained at New York city's rikers island jail while awaiting their trial dates. Midyear fiscal year 2020, providence house expanded this program by converting a building to a shelter for those women awaiting trial dates who are pregnant or trying to reconnect to their children. The women's justice project (wjp) is an alternative-to-detention initiative offering 21 (15 singles and 6 family) beds and intensive one-on-one services for women referred from city courts. In fiscal year 2021, 38 women were served through this effort.
