Review for Center for Urban Community Services | CUCS, New York, NY, USA
After my husband suddenly passed away, I went into a deep depression and lost my apartment. While bouncing around from place to place, I didn't want to admit I was homeless. I went to city agencies for help in trying to keep my apartment, but that didn't work out and I continued to work with them in trying to find a home. The system was complicated and because of my severe depression I often missed one thing which would reset the situation. I was even in a special program for mentally ill people but nothing was helping. Then I met CUCS, they helped me to navigate supportive housing in NYC and guided me in submitting the necessary forms. They helped set up the interview and get me my apartment, this put me on the right track. I owe my life to CUCS and they are an amazing organization.
