Abstract
This 3,200 square feet office space has been refreshed for a new purpose of giving a fresh start to the unhoused residents in New York City. This space was once an economic hub for small businesses where deals were made and money was exchanged. Some New York residents have been on the other side of the coin where money is harder to come across, resulting in becoming unhoused. The main factors that lead to unhousing are the lack of affordable housing, unemployment, substance abuse, or mental illness. This space is now home to assisting less fortunate people to a new beginning through haircuts, new clothes, and even connecting individuals for on-site therapy and practice interviews to prepare them for the real world.
