Neighborhood Coalition for Shelter | June 2022
Neighborhood News June 2022
For forty years, NCS’s staff has worked hard to ensure our clients are safe and healthy. We provide our residents with a home, vocational and educational support, recreational activities, substance use disorder counseling— and case management to make sure residents take care of their mental and physical health. For one resident, in particular, this work had an especially big impact.
“NCS saved my life,” James shared. “I was the type of person that never went to the doctor unless I had a symptom. And with certain diseases that works. You know, you get a symptom, they cure it. But when I went to the doctor because NCS wanted me to get a physical, it turned out I had a very aggressive form of prostate cancer, which they caught just in the nick of time. If I had been in my own apartment [not at the NCS Residence], I never would have gone to the doctor, and I would have died. So, I say that NCS saved my life… I’m so grateful."

At NCS, we know that sometimes housing isn’t enough to help people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. That’s why we provide on-site supportive services, including case management, to help them have a high quality of life.
This level of care is only possible because of supporters like you. Thank you.
Celebrating Innovation is less than one week away! Get your tickets to join us at Common Ground to meet other young professionals, enjoy light bites and an open bar, and support NCS's new supportive residence for homeless college students.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2022 Neighbors Helping Neighbors Spring Benefit! It was so wonderful to gather with friends old and new to celebrate our 40th anniversary and our honorees: The Reverend Brenda Husson of St. James Church, Mary Jo Pane, and Susan Shevell.

We also announced our plan to begin housing CUNY students experiencing homelessness, as early as this summer!

Thank you again to everyone who attended and supported our Spring Benefit. We have been able to provide innovative solutions to homelessness for the past forty years thanks to your continued support. Here's to no longer needing our services in forty years from now.
Founded 40 years ago by religious and community leaders on the Upper East Side who believed that homelessness was the responsibility of the entire community, Neighborhood Coalition for Shelter provides New Yorkers who are homeless or at risk of homelessness with a home, a community, and access to the services they need to thrive.

Meet some of the people who make NCS a community and call the NCS Residence home.
