NEIGHBORHOOD COALITION FOR SHELTER INC

NEIGHBORHOOD COALITION FOR SHELTER HELPS NEW YORKERS WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH HOMELESSNESS, OFTEN COMPOUNDED BY MENTAL ILLNESS OR SUBSTANCE USE, TO ACHIEVE THEIR HIGHEST LEVEL OF INDEPENDENCE. WE WERE ESTABLISHED IN 1982 BY FAITH AND COMMUNITY LEADERS ON MANHATTAN'S UPPER EAST SIDE WHO BELIEVED THAT HOMELESSNESS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. TODAY WE CONTINUE TO BE GUIDED BY THE PRINCIPLE THAT NEIGHBORS SHOULD HELP NEIGHBORS. NCS OFFERS AN ARRAY OF HOUSING AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES INCLUDING CASE MANAGEMENT; COUNSELING; SUBSTANCE USE TREATMENT; VOCATIONAL, EDUCATION AND, EMPLOYMENT SERVICES; AND AN INFORMATION AND REFERRALS PROGRAM.
