URBAN STRATEGIES INC. WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1970. IT IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT COMMUNITY SERVICE BASED ORGANIZATION, LOCATED IN THE OCEAN HILL - BROWNSVILLE AND EAST NEW YORK SECTIONS OF BROOKLYN. WE SERVE THE MANY DIVERSE POPULATIONS FROM THE LOCAL AND METROPOLITAN AREA THROUGH SOCIAL SERVICE PROGRAMS, HOUSING, AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT SERVICES.

IN 1994, URBAN STRATEGIES OPENED ITS THIRD TRANSITIONAL SHELTER FOR HOMELESS FAMILIES. THE MISSION OF THIS NEW FACILITY WAS TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO 33 FAMILIES LEADING TO PERMANENT HOUSING AND INDEPENDENT LIVING. TO ACCOMPLISH OUR GOALS, WE HOPE TO ENCOURAGE AND MOTIVATE OUR CLIENTS TOWARD SELF EMPOWERMENT THROUGH EDUCATION AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES, FOSTERED THROUGH A CARING AND RESPECTFUL ENVIRONMENT IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE THEIR POTENTIAL IN THE GREATER SOCIETY.
