"Through our endeavors we continuously strive to promote, empower, enhance, motivate and contribute to the general well being of the youth and families in the community at large in which we serve. It is the dream of those who have built Urban Strategies that, ten scores and seven years from now, the agency will continue to strengthen the community and the lives of those who enter its doors."

Urban Strategies, Inc. (USI), a community based, non-profit social service agency began its mission in 1970. The agency is multi-faceted and services both youth and adults. USI serves the under served and hard-to-reach populations in the Brooklyn communities of Oceanhill-Brownsville, East New York, Central Brooklyn, and Bedford Stuyvesant.

During the past twenty-eight years, USI has operated programs and addressed the critical issues of poverty, homelessness, day care, runaway youth, teenage pregnancy, and literacy. It works in a milieu that is client-driven, culturally and community relevant, and keenly attuned to the development of independent living skills. The organization works to address, and has implemented many projects that target the social, educational, economic, psychological, cultural, health, and housing needs of community residents.
