Reply to comment by gunhed76 in A friend of mine is in a spousal abusive relationship and shares a daughter with the person, where in NYC can he find help for male spousal abuse, and will they place him and his daughter in temporary housing? I need help by gunhed76

Hi! There’s something called homebase they don’t answer the phone that much, but you can look the address up online and go up there. That’s what I did. Also the other person is right call the cops and he needs to record her hurting the baby, voice should be ok. I know it’s going to be hard but if he does the footwork to get a housing voucher. And! If the child’s in school have her speak with a school counselor; he needs a paper trail. Good luck! He’s gots this do both safehorizons and homebase

HomeBase is for people facing eviction, by the way, not domestic violence.

Yes! But they also help people find homes

They work with people to try to keep them in their apartments from being evicted. I worked years in social services and used to refer my clients in bad arrears to them. They’re not going to be able to help him and will most refer him to another program or organization that will because DV is not their expertise or what they’re being funded for.

I know but they also find people homes yes for eviction or people facing becoming homeless. He’s going to become homeless right? He’ll be in a shelter with his daughter right? It’s a service where you can ask questions. I don’t understand why he can’t try both and why you’re making this a big deal. I get it you worked doing this job but unfortunately because of a injury and because I’m a orphan I had/have to work with people like you. That dropped the ball off they’re high horse and I had to do the footwork myself. There’s nothing wrong with getting information. Maybe they could help start the process while they’re are in a shelter. Look! I’m just trying to give avenues because they are very hard to find in New York City without somebody half ass helping you. It’s funny how people don’t see their privileges even if it is just something small like have a mommy and a daddy. Looks like we have nothing to say to each other, let’s stop responding.
