JOIN US AND MEET THE MOMENT
Medical debt is crushing families. Housing instability is on the rise. Together, we can make affordability more than a promise—we can make it real. Every dollar you give helps us fight for policies that keep healthcare accessible and debt collectors out of our neighbors’ lives.
Give today to build a city where affordability fuels opportunity. Together, we can usher in a new era of affordability and hope for all New Yorkers.
About our mission
The Community Service Society of New York (CSS) has worked with and for New Yorkers since 1843 to promote economic opportunity and champion an equitable city and state. We power change through a strategic combination of research, services, and advocacy to make New York more livable for people facing economic insecurity. By expanding access to health care, affordable housing, employment, opportunities for individuals with conviction histories, debt assistance, and more, we make a tangible difference in the lives of millions.
