Company Profile
The Center for Urban Community Services
Company Overview
CUCS’ mission is to end homelessness for as many people as possible and to provide opportunities for low income individuals and families, particularly those living with disabling conditions, to be productive members of the community.
Company History
The Center for Urban Community Services (CUCS) was founded in 1979. At its inception, CUCS, then known as Columbia University Community Services, had the simple purpose of involving Columbia University students in addressing the needs of the neighborhood’s disenfranchised individuals. But with the increase of homelessness in the 1980’s, CUCS expanded its mission, and officially incorporated as an independent non-profit in 1994.
Today, CUCS is a comprehensive human services agency and the nation’s largest provider of supportive housing social services. We are leading the way – implementing new practices, sharing knowledge and assisting in shaping local, state and national strategies so that persons who are homeless, low-income, living with mental illness or have other special needs can live successfully in the community.
