#CommunityFridges first popped up in the East Village and other New York neighborhoods in 2020 and quickly became a lifeline for those in need. Five years later, most of the refrigerators are gone.

About us
Services for the UnderServed (S:US) believes every New Yorker has the right to lead a life of purpose. Since 1978, S:US has been turning this belief into reality by advocating for people with life circumstances marked by homelessness, intellectual/developmental disability, behavioral health and addiction challenges, poverty, criminal justice involvement, and trauma. Our dedicated workforce of 1,800 provides services and supports to transform the lives of tens of thousands of individuals and families in New York City and Long Island. By delivering high quality services that address the complex circumstances of each individual, we help transform lives, improve neighborhoods, and break the cycle of poverty for current and future generations of New Yorkers.

We remain committed to advocating for effective, permanent housing solutions.
Midtown Manhattan alone has enough vacant office units to create 78,000 apartments. These staggering numbers illustrate the potential and the need for creative solutions to address the housing shortage. We need to do what we can to open more doors to housing development while ensuring that we build in ways that are sustainable and deeply affordable. At Services for the UnderServed, we remain committed to advocating for effective, permanent housing solutions to address this critical issue. https://lnkd.in/eD5eQXKt

Nearly two years after the New York City Council mandated #familyshelters to expand #mentalhealth services, a majority of facilities now each have at least one social worker on site. S:US operates homeless shelters that provide comprehensive services to help individuals and families overcome barriers to independent living. Our on-site teams include mental health professionals and case workers who offer housing placement assistance, crisis support, substance use disorder assessment and counseling, entitlement services, and more.
