Trinity Alliance of the Capital Region

What Trinity Alliance of the Capital Region does

Trinity Alliance of the Capital Region is a 112-year-old 501(c)(3) settlement house headquartered in a 1928 schoolhouse at 15 Trinity Place in Albany, New York's South End. The organization operates five neighborhood locations across Albany and Troy, delivering free social services through four program divisions: Health & Wellness (food pantries, community health workers, VITA tax preparation), Alternatives to Incarceration (SNUG violence prevention, LEAD diversion, re-entry, substance abuse treatment), Community Network Services (foster care prevention, early childhood development, Race to 10,000 literacy), and Youth Development (after-school and summer programs). Trinity serves more than 11,000 economically challenged residents annually with a staff of 100+ linguistically and culturally diverse employees.

The business model is a traditional nonprofit funding stack: majority of revenue derives from federal, state, and local government grants (EPA, NYS DCJS, NYS OCFS, ARPA), supplemented by philanthropic foundation support (KeyBank Foundation) and individual donations through the 1912 Fellowship monthly giving program, capital campaigns, and corporate matching gifts. All services are provided free of charge, with no fee-for-service component; outreach occurs through neighborhood storefront walk-in traffic, partner referrals (United Way, Albany County Department of Mental Health, hospitals, schools), mass food distributions, and street-level canvassing rather than any formal sales motion. Trinity functions as the lead convener of an 8-organization coalition delivering the EPA-funded ALL(bany) Together Climate and Health Resilience Equity Project, a $20M initiative signaling a strategic expansion into climate resilience programming alongside its core social services portfolio.

The organization has no proprietary technology platform — operations are supported by a website, an online food pantry ordering system, and basic social media presence. Recent strategic activity includes a $10M EPA grant award (December 2024), a $1.15M NYS DCJS grant for LEAD continuation (December 2024), a $400K KeyBank Foundation investment (December 2023), and a $17.9M capital campaign to rehabilitate and expand Trinity Place Center as a climate/health resilience emergency hub. Leadership transitioned in January 2025 when Daquetta P. Jones-Johnson succeeded long-tenured CEO Harris Oberlander following his 20-year tenure that grew Trinity's budget from financial distress to approaching $10 million annually.
