Community Service Society of New York

Community Service Society of New York provides   Income Support Services that offers the following assistance to qualifying low-income New Yorkers: Homeless PreventionGrants are made to those with mortgage or rent arrears who are at- risk of losing their homes or being evicted.  As a member of NYCs Emergency Rent Coalition (ERC) we often work collaboratively with other members of the ERC to help package eviction-prevention grants for those with multiple months of rent arrears.     Utility AssistanceGrants are made to those who are facing hardships and therefore unable to pay their utilities, including water, gas and electricity.     Summer Camp ScholarshipsGrants are made to help send minor children to licensed summer camp programs.    The Partnership InitiativeIncome Support Services provides cash assistance to help individuals achieve education and employment goals. Launched in 2009, The Partnership Initiative collaborates with community based programs (chosen through an RFP process), to identify those who face barriers on their way towards economic stability. Income Support Services provides grants to pay for tools, clothing/uniforms, test fees and transportation, thus allowing people to take vital steps toward employment and economic stability.
