What else have we done?

We've Opened Our Transitional Housing Program

In the spring of 2025 we launched our sober-living transitional housing program. We have the space to house over 20 men and guide them towards stability and leadership. We believe the impact of this program in our community can be huge.

We've Celebrated the Biggest of Moments

Graduations. Healthly transitions. Stable housing. Consistent employment. Rising above.

Big milestones deserve to be celebrated. Whether it’s graduating from a program, finishing school, or completing a major life chapter, we’re grateful to stand with our neighbors as they reach meaningful moments of progress.

We've Helped Individuals Move Closer to Their Goals

Real change is often made up of many small victories. We walk alongside our neighbors through practical steps that help restore opportunity and create forward movement.

Take Gary for example. Several months ago, Gary came to Be Able after incarceration, determined to build a better life. Through his hard work and dedication, he has taken incredible steps—securing a home, steady employment, a car, and actively engaging in recovery. But what’s truly inspiring is how he now gives back, walking alongside others who are where he once was. Because of his leadership and lived experience, Gary has been invited to serve on our Housing Advisory Team, helping shape the future of our Supportive Housing Program. His story is proof that change is possible, and second chances matter.

What makes Be Able so special is the diverse community and it's real... it feels like home.

Our "Why"

We noticed the gaps — and the neighbors falling through them.

When people need a place to rest, regroup, or reconnect to stability, Be Able exists to meet them there.

We wanted to open up a shop for those out there who perhaps don’t fit in, are reluctant to move forward, or don’t know-how. We each have ample experiences with the fantastic social service organizations of the Manhattan area and have taken note of the growing need to serve those in the gaps. Operating from a stance of loving your neighbor as yourself, we will serve our neighbors with compassion, dignity, and respect.

Our Impact.

Real Stories. Real Change.

These are snapshots of the stories and relationships built over time. These are changes that lift up everyone in our community through housing, employment, and education.

Success at Be Able doesn’t always look big… but it’s always meaningful.
