Kingsbridge Heights Community Center

What Kingsbridge Heights Community Center does

Kingsbridge Heights Community Center (KHCC) is a private nonprofit settlement house founded in 1974 in the Kingsbridge Heights neighborhood of the Bronx, New York City. KHCC delivers community-based services across five program divisions: Early Childhood (Early Head Start, Head Start, Pre-K For All, Family Childcare Network), Youth (SONYC After School, Teen Center, SONYC Tween, Summer Camp, College Directions Program), Adult & Family (ESOL/Citizenship classes, Parenting Journey, Changing Futures trauma/domestic violence services), KHCConnect (case management, housing navigation, crisis intervention), and Nutrition (food pantry, community garden, Bronx Honey). The organization serves more than 6,000 Bronx residents annually across a 10,000 sq ft main campus, an Early Learning Center, and multiple school-based satellite locations, with services delivered in-person, via telehealth, and through a 24/7 crisis hotline.

KHCC operates on a diversified nonprofit revenue model combining federal and city government grants (NYC DYCD for youth programs, HHS for Early Head Start), corporate sponsorships (Apple Bank, St. John's University, Amazon, Resorts World NYC, RUBENSTEIN), individual donations and peer-to-peer fundraising, modest program fees for Summer Camp and After School ($1,390-$3,250), and space rental. The technology footprint is limited to standard nonprofit operational tools (online registration, email, video production for youth programs) with no proprietary platform or AI capability. Notable differentiators include the only free long-term child sexual abuse treatment program in the Bronx with no immigration-status requirements, a certified Rape Crisis Program designation, and 50+ years of community presence generating deep trust among Northwest Bronx families. KHCC is a member agency of the United Neighborhood House network and partners with Lehman College on multilingual mental health workforce development.
