We show up: on the corner, in the community, in the moment someone needs help.

CUCS Intensive Mobile Treatment teams bring psychiatric care, peer support, and life-saving treatment to people wherever they are. Our staff stay connected as clients move from the streets into stable housing, providing the reliable support that makes it possible for them to find home, for good.

There are 11 days left to give in 2025. Your gift powers this life-changing work. Explore tax-smart options like donating appreciated stocks or including CUCS in your estate plans to maximize your impact.

NYC already has the resources to end high-acuity homelessness. What’s missing is coordination.

CUCS is proud to be part of the Collaborative on Housing for Health, which just released a roadmap that outlines steps to transform fragmented services into a system that delivers stability + health for the most vulnerable.

View the roadmap today: www.housingforhealthnyc.org

The Collaborative is generously supported by The Helmsley Charitable Trust , longtime and dedicated supporters of expanding access to compassionate, community-based care for people facing the greatest barriers.

This winter, we're grateful for partners like who help keep New Yorkers warm on their journey home.

Over the years, Bombas has donated more than 50,000 pairs of socks to CUCS. When you're facing the cold without a permanent home, a pair of warm, quality socks isn't just comfort. It's dignity. It's care. It's someone saying you matter.

We've been proud Bombas Giving Partners for 10 years, and we're excited to celebrate their first-ever retail store opening right here in NYC! Every pair purchased means one donated to someone who needs it.

Thank you, Bombas, for walking alongside us and the New Yorkers finding their way Home for Good.

Thank you to the volunteers from JPMorganChase who brought holiday magic to our Hannigan permanent supportive housing program on Monday! Together, we filled the room with laughter as kids decorated cupcakes, write letters to Santa, and enjoy festive treats. It was a beautiful day of smiles, joy, and connection.

These are the moments that Home for Good is all about: families celebrating together in a stable home, surrounded by community. We're so grateful you spent your day with us, spreading cheer and making this season special.

Ending homelessness for New Yorkers with complex conditions is not about re-inventing the wheel, it’s about bringing the most effective programs to scale. CUCS is proud to be a part of developing new, innovative solutions as part of The Collaborative on Housing for Health (CH4H).

This past weekend, on Spectrum News NY1’s ‘Weekends on 1’, Molly Wasow Park, Commissioner of the NYC Department of Social Services and Jody Rudin, President and CEO of ICL discussed gaps in New York City’s current homelessness response system and CH4H’s roadmap for ending homelessness for New Yorkers living with complex behavioral health conditions.

98% of CUCS clients stay housed once they move into permanent housing.

When you support CUCS, you're not just helping someone find a home, you're helping them keep it. The CUCS approach works: We offer comprehensive healthcare, case management, mental health support, and the relationships that help people navigate life's challenges and build lasting stability.

When you give to CUCS, you're investing in a solution that works. You're bringing someone Home for Good.
