United Neighborhood Houses of New York

About United Neighborhood Houses of New York

The United Neighborhood Houses of New York Inc consistently backs neighborhood-based settlement houses and community service organizations that anchor direct services in New York City. Its recent grants show a clear preference for multi-service institutions that work across family support, immigrant and refugee services, youth development, housing stability, and neighborhood revitalization. A recurring pattern is support for large, citywide community organizations such as CAMBA, Queens Community House, BronxWorks, and Henry Street Settlement. The foundation also funds culturally specific providers, including Arab-American Family Support Center, Korean Community Services, and Chinese American Planning Council, alongside broader settlement-house networks. Grantmaking is concentrated in program support rather than one-time project experiments, and the recipients are often long-standing local centers serving low-income neighborhoods. That mix points to a funder interested in strengthening existing service delivery systems instead of launching standalone initiatives. Across the portfolio, the foundation’s grants connect directly to frontline work: family services, shelter and housing assistance, workforce supports, and community development within the city’s borough-based nonprofit infrastructure.
