East Harlem Council for Human Services, Inc.

The East Harlem Council for Human Services, Inc. (Council) is a multi-service not-for-profit which coordinates an array of affordable and no cost services to more than 10,000 individuals each year without regard for an individual’s ability to pay for services. The Council was incorporated in 1965 through the grass-roots efforts of East Harlem residents committed to addressing the critical unmet need for culturally and linguistically accessible, affordable health and human services in El Barrio. The Board of Directors and more than almost 200 staff members are united in a commitment to the Council’s mission of providing the highest quality of comprehensive, community-based, fully bilingual services to the East Harlem community. The Council is the largest grass-roots, multi-services not-for-profit in East Harlem. The Council has experienced continuous growth and evolution to become the thriving institution which it is today. By continuing its strong history of diverse community-based leadership, and commitment to the self-determination of this institution and the East Harlem community at large, the Council has positioned itself for continued growth. The Council continuously renews its commitment to the residents of El Barrio to ensure that the Boriken Neighborhood Health Center and its sister programs will continue to provide affordable quality comprehensive services in East Harlem for many more decades
