Safe and Secure Housing

I didn’t know where to turn when I was facing eviction. The team at Urban Social Services not only helped me navigate the housing system, but they also provided me with the advocacy and support I needed to secure a safe place for my family. They truly care about their clients.

New Home and Autism Services Assistance

As a single mom with a special needs child, I felt completely overwhelmed when we became homeless. Urban Social Services stepped in and changed our lives. They helped us navigate the complex system to secure funding, find stable housing, and connect my child with the services he desperately needed. Thanks to their support, we now have a safe place to call home, and my child is thriving with the care he deserves. I don’t know where we’d be without them.”

Life After Prison

After my release, I was overwhelmed by the idea of starting over. Urban Social Services gave me the tools I needed through their re-entry program and life skills training. With their help, I’ve found stable housing, a job, and the confidence to rebuild my life.

Connie Rietdyk

Tia, from Social Service Advocacy makes navigating social services easy to understand. I am a mother to a son with severe Autism. She could tell I was clueless when it came to services. With one phone call, she connected me to a service that offers respite care, giving me a much needed break to focus on my mental health so I can be a better mom. Thank you so much Tia!

Urban Social Services saved my life. When I was struggling on the streets, their wound-care and harm reduction programs were there for me when no one else was. They provided not just medical care but the support and education I needed to start taking better care of myself.

"Starting my own business felt like a distant dream until I found Urban Social Services. Their guidance in setting up my LLC and the ongoing business development support have been invaluable. Thanks to them, I’m now running a successful business that I’m proud of."

"Sometimes, you just need someone who understands what you’re going through. The peer support I received at Urban Social Services made all the difference in my recovery. Knowing I wasn’t alone gave me the strength to keep pushing forward."
