About Urban Resource Institute (URI)

Urban Resource Institute (URI) is a New York City nonprofit organization founded in 1980. According to its official website, it provides shelter and support services for survivors of domestic violence and for families experiencing homelessness. Its Justice Initiatives department offers non-residential programs, including an abusive partner intervention program and the People and Animals Living Safely (PALS) program for families with pets. Its domestic violence services also include counseling, housing navigation, job readiness, and connections to public benefits.

Legal work is one component of these services.
