BCS works in neighborhoods impacted by systemic poverty. We believe all Brooklynites should have the resources, education, opportunities, and safety they need to thrive.

Welcome to Brooklyn Community Services

With over 50 award-winning programs and 28 locations across Brooklyn, BCS serves over 20,000 individuals in need annually. We empower Brooklyn residents to maximize their potential, serving low income Brooklynites of all ages: from early childhood to adults in their senior years. We strengthen communities by fostering the educational success of children, the leadership development of youth, the employment and housing stability of adults, the advancement of individuals living with disabilities, and the empowerment of seniors and families.

Thanks to the tireless campaigning of human service workers across the City, starting in 2025, NYC human service contracts will include a 3% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) each year for the next 3 years. In addition, there will be 2025 Workforce Enhancement funding of $50 million!
This is great news for the City of New York, BCS and Human Service workers across the City. Our fight for #JustPay doesn’t end here, but we are thrilled to celebrate this significant victory!

Today is #EqualPayDay. According to the National Committee on Pay Equity, “[March 12th] symbolizes how far into the year women must work to earn what men earned in the previous year.” The issue of equal pay is especially important to BCS as human services workers, the majority of whom are women, often struggle to make a living wage here in NY. This day reminds us that we must keep fighting for #JustPay to end government-sanctioned poverty wages for human services workers!
