Project Description

The project called for the acquisition and renovation of a six-story commercial loft building in the East Harlem neighborhood of New York City to create a total 25,200 sq. ft. of space. The project has allowed the Center for Urban Community Services (CUCS) to substantially expand its Career Network, as well as expand and relocate its Housing Resource Center. Expansion of the Career Network not only has increased capacity, but has also made available a more robust range of mental health rehabilitation services than what the program previously offered. Additionally, the site serves as the administrative headquarters for CUCS’ executive, administrative, and fiscal staff. The expansion has allowed CUCS to offer it services to 25,407 individuals each year.
