Our Story
Established in 1969, Lower West Side Household Services Corporation is a private, nonprofit organization licensed by the New York State Department of Health.
Our early work focused on serving older adults in New York City. Over time, we expanded our services to support children, adults, individuals with disabilities, and the families who care for them.
Our programs aid early development, daily living, and community independence. We consider how home, relationships, and access to resources affect well-being.
