Practice of Peace Foundation | Housing & Stabilization in the Bronx

“Stabilizing Lives. Strengthening Communities. Safe Affordable Housing.”

Who We Are

The Practice of Peace Foundation was born in the Bronx during the 1970s, a time marked by housing loss, economic hardship, and community displacement. What began as a small act of compassion — neighbors coming together to provide food, shelter, and emotional care — soon grew into a collective mission to restore dignity, hope, and healing for those in need.

Over the years, this movement has evolved into a foundation dedicated to empowering lives through shelter, mental health healing, education, and reintegration support. Today, Practice of Peace stands as a beacon of compassion and inclusivity, helping individuals and families rebuild their lives with strength, purpose, and peace.
