What Hamilton-Madison House does

Hamilton-Madison House is a 125+ year-old nonprofit social services organization headquartered at 253 South Street in Manhattan's Lower East Side, founded in 1898 as a settlement house and reorganized through a 1954 merger of Madison House (1898) and Hamilton House (1902). It operates three core service lines: Behavioral Health (including outpatient clinics, addiction recovery via Asian American Recovery Services, community-based treatment via CONNECT, recovery services via PROSpect Place, supportive housing, and an APA-accredited Psychology Doctoral Internship); Early Childhood Education (Head Start, Early Head Start, child care with sliding-scale fees, and the Family Child Care Network in Brooklyn); and Older Adult, Youth and Community Services (City Hall Older Adult Center, Caregiver Manhattan Program, NORC programs at Knickerbocker Village, Alfred E. Smith Houses and Chatham Green, Social Adult Day Program, Case Management, and the LIFT youth program and Two Bridges Youth Farmers Market).

The organization serves more than 10,000 children and adults annually and more than 5,500 older adult members citywide, with particular depth serving the Asian-American community through bilingual and bicultural staff delivering services in six languages and seven dialects. It has been designated as operating the East Coast's largest outpatient clinic specialized in serving the Asian-American community. Revenue is generated through a combination of government contracts and grants (NYC Aging, NYC Department of Health, NYC Department of Education, Federal Office of Head Start, NYC OCFS), healthcare reimbursement (Medicaid, Medicare, third-party insurance), donations and fundraising events (Annual Gala, Golf Classic, June Lee Chinatown Banquet), and sliding-scale program fees. Go-to-market is community-led, driven by physical centers across at least seven Manhattan locations, partnerships with healthcare providers and schools, and word-of-mouth trust relationships built over more than a century.
