Meron
I’ve been working at the NCS Residence as a case aide for almost a year. I’m in social work school, and this is my first job working in human services.
Clement
“I’ve been working at NCS for about four years now. I get to interact a lot with the clients, and they’re cool to interact with.”
Meet Mary Jacobs, Program Director at NCS Scholars: LIC
NCS Scholars is led by Mary Jacobs (nee Clark) previously the Senior Case Manager at Louis Nine House (LNH), NCS’s supportive residence for young adults. “I love working with young people who have experienced homelessness,” she shared. “I love helping them break down barriers and helping them reach their goals.”
Monique: A Pillar of NCS
Monique Phillips knows her way around Neighborhood Coalition for Shelter.
Na'eema's Journey with NCS
Before she started working for NCS three years ago, Na'eema Nadir performed outreach in NYC's subways, connecting people experiencing homelessness with meals, shelter, and other services as needed. That experience was helpful in her first role at NCS, providing information and referrals for guests at Upper East Side meal programs through our Community Human Services Information Referral Program (CHIRP).
The 2022 NCS Annual Summer Outing
After a few years of having to cancel in-person staff events, we were all so excited to spend the day together at Riverbank State Park.
Spreading Holiday Cheer
Christmas is always an exciting time at NCS. Before the pandemic, our traditions included decorations, talent shows, and big holiday meals together. When the recent COVID surge forced us back to social distancing, NCS staff stepped up to ensure that our clients still had a merry holiday.
From Administrative Assistant to Program Director
Congratulations to Monique Phillips on her new role as Program Director of the NCS Residence!

Ann Shalof Answers Questions on Reddit!
NCS CEO Ann Shalof led her first Reddit AMA (ask me anything) yesterday! She took questions about homelessness in NYC and the work NCS is doing to help our homeless and formerly homeless neighbors.
Catching Up With Nachell
What has made this past year doable is how supportive and understanding everyone at NCS has been – both management and the Louis Nine House staff. Sometimes I’ll be in meetings and also making sure my son is “at school,” and everyone understands.

Kenny Elliot Goes Above and Beyond
“I was always worried about safety first,” Kenny shared. “I just wanted to do whatever I could to protect the clients and staff.”
Dominick Gets a Vaccine!
“I want to encourage everyone to get vaccinated,” he shared. “Not only because it will keep you safe but so that we can reach herd immunity in New York City and can fully reopen services for our Chance for Change clients. This vaccine and reaching herd immunity, being able to reopen Chance for Change the way it was, it will allow us to realize all that Chance for Change can be. I will be able to finally get to work on all the big plans I had when I started here a year ago!”
Holiday celebrations didn’t look the same this year, but they were still merry!
Our dedicated staff packaged and passed out individually packed holiday meals so everyone could celebrate social distantly. They loved the food from Jacob Restaurant and Brisas Express!
