COVID-19 Response Learn Advocate Connect Support Get Care Donate For over 30 years, Harlem United has worked tirelessly to address the issues and concerns of underserved Black and Brown communities in New York City. Our mission is to provide healthcare, housing, and supportive services to those most in need, working for their equitable access to these services, without barriers of racism, stigma, or discrimination. In reflection of the communities we serve, our staff are overwhelmingly people of color; we carry a deep understanding of our clients’ needs for trauma-informed, culturally affirmative care. It is a question of belonging. We are committed to advocacy at all levels of governance, ensuring that public monies flow to communities who need it the most: those facing extreme poverty, grappling with chronic health issues, and who are affected by systemic injustices which act as barriers to accessing healthcare, housing and supportive services. These are our people, our community.
