For victims fleeing violence, finding a safe refuge is just the first of many challenges they will face. URI’s client-centered approach to healing goes far beyond providing shelter; our innovative domestic violence services and programs allow survivors to heal, gain independence, and safely rebuild their lives. We also focus on intervention and prevention through programs working with perpetrators, teens and pre-teens to break the cycle of violence.

URINYC is a good agency that provide emergency housing for families living DV and Homeless shelters. According to Urinyc.org, the agency generates 100 million in revenue. CEO Nathaniel Fields made over 575,000 in 2023(Propublica.org). Unfortunately, No C.O.L.A. for CM's, SW's, security guards and other front-line workers. Social Service Staff need to join DC 37's nonprofit division, Maintenance and Security need to join 32BJ SEIU.

Thee worst place to be after being in a DV situation! After you think you've escaped your abusers here comes Ms.kelly and Ms.Eberhart as your second and third abusers... this place isn't helpful at all they don't know their jobs and they stunt your progress all the while preaching at your time being 180 days. Nobody helps you to get the voucher they don't even know what advent is! All they do is lie and give you the run around while your bruised battered and recovering... I've seen ppl leave here with nowhere to go because of their lackadaisical behavior! ... Ms.kelly needs to be fired she's a bully and her passive aggressive ways is abusive! Just last week I witnessed a male Caseworker Mr. Spellman yelling at a female resident on the first floor embarrassing her pointing in her face! This place needs to be shut down and staff trained the only good ppl here is the RS staff! Ms. Whylie is incompetent! Never really had an interaction with Mr. Spellman but based on his behavior with that lady I'm good! Ms.Eberhart is the second in command ringleader to Ms.kelly all useless and all they do is threaten you lowkey they never do anything up front! Ppl go to a DV shelter for help they're not helpful in no way shape or form!
