Who We Are

The Practice of Peace team comes from diverse backgrounds, bringing the lived experience of marginalized communities, homelessness and poverty.  Additionally, staff and Board members live in the communities they serve, further enriching the organization's ability to connect with and serve these vital demographics.

What We Do

Practice of Peace is a New York City-based nonprofit that combines longstanding work sheltering people experiencing homelessness, both American homeless and asylum seekers, with a deep commitment to addressing the mental health factors contributing to homelessness and trauma using Health Realization principles.

Mission

Our mission is to empower individuals with the transformative Three Principles of Health Realization and the enriching principles of Appreciative Inquiry.  Through this, we aim to reintegrate our fellow citizens who have faced homelessness, adversity, and childhood trauma challenges back into the fabric of society as thriving, engaged, and quality citizens.
