- $663,761 spent. The Alex House Project (TAHP) is a Brooklyn-based, peer-led 501c3 social service support and leadership development organization for young expecting and parenting mothers, ages 25 and under, who reside in economically depressed, New York City neighborhoods. Our Community We support high-need, underserved homeless youth, LGBTQ youth, young women in new immigrant communities, and parenting youth in foster care throughout the five boroughs of NYC. Our community is directly affected by poverty, homophobia, and racism. We draw from mother-and-child group homes, family foster care, and domestic violence shelters, as well as referrals from community-based organizations, city, and state-funded institutions. Our base in Red Hook, Brooklyn, is home to New Yorks largest NYCHA development, housing over 11,000 people in nearly 3,000 apartments. Ninety percent of the tenants are people of color, as are most AHP participants. Nurturing Parenting: The Alex House Project parenting course increases the ability of young mothers to become family-sufficient. Participants walk away feeling more empowered in their parenting and with a stronger relationship with their co-parents and children. In addition, they gain educational access and workforce development throughout the year of enrollment and support with a specific individual or family needs. Peer Leadership: Interested graduates then have the opportunity to deepen their learning through advanced leadership training. We train them to lead Alex House outreach, intake, and parenting training and provide emotional support to their peers. Nobody is better positioned for this work than young parents who themselves have known early parentification, external judgment, racial discrimination, economic hardship, gender bias, and personal isolation. Combining the wisdom of harsh life experience with the Alex House approach to parenting training and leadership development awakens participants potential to thrive and serve as role models and community leaders. The Alex House Project envisions a world in which low-income families benefit from comprehensive support. In particular, young women transition successfully into parenthood with peer-led parenting training, encouragement, and assistance to access higher education and employment.
