Urban Upbound
Urban Upbound is dedicated to breaking cycles of poverty in New York City public housing and other low-income neighborhoods.
They provide underserved youth and adults with the tools and resources needed to achieve economic prosperity and self-sufficiency through seven comprehensive, integrated programs:
Employment Services
College Access and Youth Development
Mental Health and Wellness
Financial Counseling and Affordable Housing
Tax Preparation and Income Support
Community Revitalization through Business Innovation
Through an intensive case management approach, clients are engaged for long periods of time and services are fully integrated so all clients have access to the full array of Urban Upbound’s services. The Urban Upbound Federal Credit Union (UUFCU) is an important pillar of the Urban Upbound model and an anchor in the community, connecting Queens residents to financial products that promote long-term asset building and economic mobility that are not available through mainstream banks.
