Our Work Never Stops

At Neighborhood Coalition for Shelter, our work never stops. While most New Yorkers are staying at home, the employees at the heart of NCS—front line employees who work directly with our residents and clients—continue to go to work and support the people in our care.    

To support this essential work, Neighborhood Coalition for Shelter has launched an emergency COVID-19 Response Fund.  

This Fund will be used for the increased costs that NCS is incurring due to the pandemic.

• Food: Many of our residents rely on local free meal programs that have been suspended. NCS is purchasing food so that our residents do not go hungry.

• Cleaning: NCS has hired outside cleaning services to keep our two housing residences scrubbed clean and safe for our tenants.

• Technology: New technology is required for tele-med sessions with doctors and case management sessions with NCS staff. This will ensure that clients can have these meetings safely in the privacy of their own room and do not need to rely on the shared computer lab as we try to minimize the residents’ exposure to each other.
