COCOON PROJECT

Cocoon Project, Inc. was founded in 2021 to provide housing essentials for survivors of domestic violence who are moving from emergency shelters to transitional housing. Clients are referred by The Retreat, a Long Island-based domestic violence organization that provides emergency shelter. While at The Retreat, survivors are faced with finding new housing, employment and child care, often while entangled in the court system. Finding housing is an overwhelming task under the best of circumstances-and if not successful, survivors are faced with the heartbreaking choice of either becoming homeless, or returning to their abusers. In the majority of cases, survivors have very few possessions and their transitional homes are bare. This is where Cocoon Project steps in.
