About Community Service Society of New York
The Community Service Society of New York (CSS) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in New York City. It describes its mission as promoting economic opportunity and an equitable city and state, and it combines research, direct services and advocacy for New Yorkers facing economic insecurity. Current programs include the Managed Care Consumer Assistance Program, which helps residents with health care access and insurance problems, and the Next Door Project, which assists with criminal record matters.
Within the organization, a Legal Department focuses mainly on the rights of people with criminal records. It litigates against private and public employers that deny jobs or occupational licenses because of convictions, and against background check companies, and it also represents people denied housing or rental assistance because of conviction histories. The department supports the Next Door Project by training volunteer counselors to review official criminal records.
