Services for the Underserved

View

S:US helps New Yorkers who face homelessness, disability, behavioral health and addiction challenges, poverty, criminal justice involvement, and trauma access a wide range of supports across New York City and Long Island. It coordinates services such as case management, housing and stabilization, behavioral health treatment, recovery supports, rehabilitation, advocacy, and community-based programs tailored to each person’s needs. By linking housing, health, justice, and community resources, S:US delivers integrated, place-based services that address multiple barriers at once rather than focusing on a single issue. The goal is to help people lead purposeful lives, improve neighborhoods, and break the cycle of poverty for current and future generations of New Yorkers.

What critics are saying

  • S:US depends heavily on New York public funding and contract renewals.
  • Aerosolized political attacks on supportive housing threaten S:US's core Brooklyn model.
  • If state reimbursement tightens, its housing-and-behavioral-health network faces existential contraction.

  • S:US opened Brooklyn's sixth state-funded Crisis Stabilization Center in April 2026.
  • S:US won a $250,000 TD Charitable Foundation grant for eviction prevention.
