Turning Point For Women & Families

Turning Point For Women & Families is a nonprofit organization registered in SAM.gov since 2009, located in Flushing, New York, that specializes in providing support services for survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Classified as a minority-owned, woman-owned business, the organization focuses on serving underserved immigrant and Muslim populations in the New York City region. The organization develops targeted programs that offer comprehensive support to vulnerable individuals, with a particular emphasis on holistic, survivor-centered approaches to housing assistance, community integration, and personal empowerment.

Through federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women, Turning Point For Women & Families has consistently received project grants under two primary programs: the Transitional Housing Assistance Grants (CFDA 16.736) and the Grants for Outreach and Services to Underserved Populations (CFDA 16.889). These grants have funded critical services including scattered-site transitional housing, rental and utility assistance, case management, safety planning, childcare, transportation, career counseling, job training, limited legal assistance, and housing advocacy. The organization has partnered with entities like the Ansob Center for Refugees and Queens Legal Services to enhance its service delivery. Recent federal grant awards totaling approximately $1.6 million have supported three-year projects aimed at providing housing and support services to survivors, with goals of reaching over 3,500 individuals through outreach and delivering direct services to at least 225 women, specifically targeting the Muslim and immigrant communities in Queens, New York.
