About HSC


Human Services Council (HSC) is the Voice of the Human Services Community. We represent thousands of not-for-profit organizations in New York and we advocate for the needs of the human services sector as a whole. Human service providers can accomplish more for their clients when they work together to increase funding, master complex new regulations, and orchestrate joint technology. HSC provides the structure to make that happen.


Since 1991, we have helped bring together a diverse network of human services organizations to discuss ideas and take collective action on issues and concerns that impact the entire sector. Through advocacy, information, collaboration, and technical assistance, member organizations and their leaders are supported by the whole human services community in addressing their concerns of public policy, economic trends, and regulatory environment.


We invite you to add your organization’s voice today!

"The current economic downturn across the nation has created serious fiscal restraints on New York City and the rest of the state.  These difficult times have illustrated, even further, the important role that the Human Services Council of New York City plays in advancing the public good.  The work of every person and organization represented through the council has been an important public service."

Dean G. Skelos,
Senate Minority Leader,
State of New York
