About Us

Welcome to Genesis Transitional Housing Ministries, a place where compassion, faith, and community come together to transform lives. For more than 20 years, Genesis, founded by Rev. Andre and Helen Broady, has been a trusted presence for those seeking safety, stability, and a new beginning in Queens, NY, providing safe, affordable housing and wraparound support for individuals facing some of life’s toughest challenges.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple yet powerful:
To provide stable, inclusive, and faith-centered transitional housing that empowers individuals to rebuild their lives with dignity, purpose, and hope.

We proudly serve a diverse community, including:

• Men and women needing transitional or supportive housing

• Individuals in sober living or recovering from addiction

• Recently incarcerated individuals re-entering society

• Those experiencing homelessness or financial hardship

• Adults seeking spiritual, emotional, and personal growth

No matter where someone starts, Genesis is committed to walking beside them on their journey to stability and self-sufficiency.

Our Holistic Approach

At Genesis, we believe transformation happens when physical, emotional, and spiritual needs are addressed together.

Our holistic model includes:

• Faith-based programs that inspire growth, reflection, and healing.

• Partnerships with government agencies and community organizations to connect residents with essential services.

• Referrals for clinical support, including drug treatment, counseling, and recovery programs

• Practical assistance such as financial support, employment guidance, wellness, and life-skills development
  

Our dedicated team, which includes house managers, administrative staff, ministers, clinical social workers, credentialed alcohol and drug counselors, drivers, cooks, and other professional colleagues, ensures every resident receives compassionate, high-quality support.

Community Support & Impact

Beyond housing, Genesis operates a community food pantry that serves both residents and local families. This initiative not only meets immediate needs but also strengthens community bonds and provides residents with meaningful opportunities to serve others.

Since 2002, Genesis has grown into a trusted, responsive nonprofit with a proven track record of helping individuals move from crisis to stability. Our commitment to problem-solving, flexibility, and meeting people where they are has enabled us to evolve alongside the community's needs.

Our Commitment

We are deeply grateful for the residents, partners, and supporters who make our mission possible.

With your continued support, we remain steadfast in our commitment to:

• Uplift individuals with compassion

• Empower them with tools for independence

Transform lives through faith, service, and community
