Overcoming the Odds Foundation contracts with New York City agencies to provide young adults and families with transitional housing and access to mental health, counseling, and vocational services.

MISSION

To transition young adults and families who are homeless in New York City into permanent housing and to stabilize their financial, emotional, and physical well being.

HISTORY

Overcoming the Odds Foundation, Inc. is the vision of Dr. Shauntee' Byron.

Dr. Byron wrote about triumphing over adversities, including her time as a homeless young adult facing financial insecurity and emotional instability, in her book, Overcoming the Odds. Her interview on the podcast, On the Town with Tanya solidified her commitment to this vulnerable population.

Overcoming the Odds Foundation was birthed to help others be triumphant over adverse circumstances.
