2012 Annual Report

Dear Friends,Hurricane Sandy brought an unprecedented challenge to New York City’s neighborhoods and the settlement houses that serve them. Staff from UNH member agen-cies, especially those in the Lower East Side, Chelsea, Staten Island, and Brighton Beach, sprinted into action, walking, biking, and hitching rides to bring food, water, flashlights, and blankets to residents who were trapped in their apartments, alone and afraid. Hundreds of vol-unteers joined, knocking on doors and running up dark stairwells to make sure community residents had what they needed to get through cold nights. UNH agencies opened their doors for warmth, for information, and for counseling. UNH agencies are truly anchors in their communities, and continue to make sure that their most vulnerable neighbors are safe.

Thanks to the generous support we received, UNH was able to provide several hundreds of thousands of dollars in Hurricane Sandy relief grants to our affected members. Board member Art Stainman and his wife Lois Stainman donated $100,000 to aid in early relief efforts, and UNH received special grants from several foundation partners as well, including the New York Community Trust and The Altman Foundation. These funds directly helped our members, some with damage to their facilities and whose staff worked overtime to lead relief and recovery activities.

Hurricane Sandy truly reinforced the value of the UNH network of agencies to their neighbors. We thank you, as always, for your support of UNH and our member agencies as we continue to work together to improve the lives of New Yorkers in need.

Sincerely,

K EEPING NE W YORK ’S COMMUNITIE S STRONG

HIGHLIGHT S OF 2012

The UNH Junior Board sent 50 care packages to first-year college students who had been helped by UNH member college access programs. Recipients, including the winners of the Viacom Scholarship, were sent support and encouragement as they studied hard at Binghamton, Stony Brook, and Cornell University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and other schools. Thanks to donors, including UNH Board President Lew Kramer, Ernst & Young, New York University, Promo Direct, and The US Playing Card Company, the care packages were filled with items like water bottles, pens, gym bags, playing cards, and sewing kits – great for students away from home for the first time.

UNH brings together thousands of parents, teens, older adults, children, program staff, and advocates each year to fight for the supports that help families and make neighborhoods work.

Three New UNH Reports released in 2012: “PEG’d Away” highlights the impact of cuts to senior centers and home deliv-ered meals. “Off Target” looks at why public hous-ing communities are left

out when NYC gov-ernment uses zip code mapping for service delivery. “The New Frontier” tackles the issue of managed long term care plans for social programs for older adults.

ADVOCACY HIGHLIGHT:

Helping Working Families to Keep Working! The Campaign for Children success-fully reversed Mayor Bloomberg’s budget proposal that would have eliminated over 47,000 children from child care and after school programs. UNH played a leading role, and helped collect nearly 60,000 signed letters and petitions (see photo). UNH member agen-cies mobilized parents and staff to speak at rallies and to participate

in petition drives, call-in days, and meetings with government officials. As a result, nearly $100 million in proposed cuts to child care and $50 million to after school programs were restored by the NYC City Council. UNH thanks the parents and children who shared their stories, and the many supporters who made it possible for UNH to continue advo-cating for affordable child care and after school programs.

UNH MEMBERS United Neighborhood Houses (UNH) is the membership association of 38 nonprofit community organizations called “settlement houses”. Serving over half a million New Yorkers each year at more than 400 sites, settlement houses strengthen neighborhoods by providing support, promoting community involvement, and organizing neighbors across the five boroughs of New York City. Settlement houses keep communities stable by providing a wide variety of services to all ages, such as child care, after school programs, senior centers, mental health clinics, homeless shelters, job training and placement programs. They are anchor institutions in their communities.
