United Neighborhood Houses of New York funds neighborhood-based settlement houses and community service organizations across New York City, prioritizing family support, youth development, immigrant and refugee services, and housing/homelessness assistance. Their grants consistently support multi-service local centers (settlement houses, local development corporations, and culturally specific family centers) that deliver direct social services, workforce supports, and community development in under-resourced neighborhoods. The foundation’s portfolio emphasizes longstanding, place-based institutions that serve diverse immigrant populations and low-income families citywide.
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.
Family and immigrant services are a core theme. The foundation gave $245,486 to Arab-American Family Support Center for program support and $122,400 to Korean Community Services for program support, while also supporting Chinese American Planning Council with $112,111 for program support. Housing stability and homelessness assistance is another visible area. Project Hospitality received $209,550 in 2025 and $164,000 in 2024, both for program support, and Goddard Riverside Community Center received $126,000 for program support. Youth and community development appear through organizations such as Queens Community House, which received $233,800 for program support in 2025, and Red Hook Initiative, which received $198,788 in 2025 and $131,118 in 2024. The portfolio also includes neighborhood service providers like Henry Street Settlement and Educational Alliance, both funded for ongoing programmatic work.

Concentrated, repeat support to place-based NYC nonprofits: mid-sized, often biannual or recurring grants to longtime settlement houses and community organizations rather than one-off national grantees.

Notable grantees: Sunnyside Community Services, CAMBA, Queens Community House, Project Hospitality, Red Hook Initiative
