Mission Statement
Founded in 1978, Services for the UnderServed (SUS) is a nonprofit human services agency with a reputation for supporting veterans and individuals and families faced with a wide range of challenges–mental illness, intellectual/developmental disabilities, and HIV/AIDS, often compounded by histories of homelessness, substance abuse, poverty and unemployment
About This Cause
With a $90 million annual budget and a staff of over 1,000, SUS provides housing, day, wellness and employment services, and other support services to over 7,500 individuals and their families annually. Services are tailored to meet the needs, goals and preferences of the people and communities served. Our programs and services are supported by a diverse group of local, state and federal government entities as well as foundation, corporate and individual donors. What makes SUS different is our commitment to and expertise in providing tailored services to persons with complex needs, while meeting their personal goals and preferences. Many of the individuals we serve have not found other service providers able to do so. In 2012, SUS was awarded three-year accreditation from CARF International (the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) for our work in our residential, employment, Clubhouse and day habilitation programs. This award demonstrates SUS’ dedication to improving the quality of life for the people we serve. SUS provides housing, employment, wellness and other support services to approximately 7,500 individuals and their families in all five boroughs of New York City and in Long Island every year, with the bulk of our programming in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. SUS’ presence in New York City has grown to be an integral part of the communities that host our programs and services. Our residences, scattered site apartments, day hab programs and shelters are all good neighbors to over 35 communities across the five boroughs.With a staff of over 1,000, we continue to expand the breadth and depth of our work. We recently launched a new program in Long Island and will open several new programs in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx in 2014 and beyond.
