We recently kicked off our 50th anniversary year with breakfast celebrations across WSFSSH, bringing staff together to celebrate this milestone and share our new five-year strategic plan. Thank you to our dedicated staff who makes this work possible every day. #DignityLivesHere
Congrats to our staff softball team, West Side Sluggers, on winning their first softball championship! In just their second season, the Sluggers went from newcomers to champions. We're so proud of their teamwork and determination. Way to go, Sluggers! 🏆#TeamWSFSSH
🌡️ An Extreme Heat Warning is in effect across New York through the holiday weekend, with temperatures near 100°F. Our Older Adult Centers are open as cooling centers, offering older New Yorkers a safe, air-conditioned place to stay cool and hydrated.
More than 100 older adults joined us at the Red Oak Older Adult Center for our annual Community Health + Wellness Fair. Thank you to our community partners for making this a day of connection, learning, and self-care, including relaxing hand and foot massages for participants!
Congratulations @theNetworkNY for another successful annual conference! Thank you for having our Executive Director and Director of Staff Learning & Development serve as panel speakers! #2026NetworkConference #2026SHNNYConference
A major milestone for WSFSSH! We celebrated the opening of Fischer Senior Apartments, a new 105-unit affordable and supportive housing community in the Bronx for older adults. The event also launched our Enhanced Care pilot program and kicked off our 50th anniversary year!
Last month, we rallied to tell @NYCMayor and @NYCCouncil that an affordable NYC must include #JustPay for the workers who make our city livable. It’s simple: equal work deserves equal wages. Pass Int 0452 now!
We were recently featured on @NPR's @theindicator from @planetmoney in a conversation about the opportunities and limitations of single-room occupancy housing (SROs), especially as residents age. Read or listen here to the story here: tinyurl.com/fps7dw3p

The team is getting back in the swing of things! ⚾️
The West Side Sluggers are back for year two and off to a strong start. Undefeated to open the season, but more than anything, it just feels good to be back on the field together.

Building supportive housing takes a team—and we’re hiring. From social services to operations, every role at WSFSSH helps older adults live with dignity and connection.

Supportive housing faces an existential threat," writes @theNetworkNY's Pascale Leone in @timesunion. As federal attacks on supportive housing intensify, the governor and the NY state legislature must step up and protect vulnerable NYers.

Thank you @marklevineNYC for your continued support. W 108th St Phase II builds on a proven model, replacing a garage with 84 affordable homes for older adults and strengthening a block that is already thriving.
We're proud to be part of what comes next.
W. 108th St between Columbus & Amsterdam Ave used to be home to several old parking garages for 500+ cars.
When a plan emerged in 2018 to knock down two garages to build affordable housing there was bitter opposition, with claims that the area would be less safe and that there’d be a parking nightmare in the neighborhood.
In the years since the project opened in 2022 none of those fears proved true. The block is safer and more beautiful than ever. And most importantly it now includes 240 deeply affordable homes.
It’s been so successful than now the third and final garage on the block is going to be knocked down for an add’l building with another 84 units.
There is a lesson here. From congestion pricing to installing a Citi bike dock to building affordable housing, local projects that are opposed when they are proposed almost always win support once they are up and running. Let’s remember that for the next fight.

When we build for New Yorkers, communities thrive 🏙️ Comptroller Mark Levine stopped by the Upper West Side to see affordable housing in action and what’s still to come. This is what it looks like when we do the hard work: more housing, stronger infrastructure, and real investments that make life better for New Yorkers.

Music, connection, and community at our Frederick Douglass Older Adult Center.
Through our partnership with the @bloomingdale_music, older adults are building confidence, creativity, and joy together. This is what community looks like in action.
