Founded in 1886 as the first settlement house in the United States, University Settlement Society of New York (USS) is a human services nonprofit that serves over 40,000 clients annually. A $2 million loan from NFF will allow USS to navigate daily operations despite the unpredictability of government funding schedules, a common challenge faced by many nonprofit organizations. With this financing, USS will be able to continue providing essential services that foster stability for the thousands of individuals and families it serves.
