Programs
Food and Household Support program helps to ensure food security for immigrants living in Ulster County. Seasonal labor, inability to receive benefits due to legal status and new arrivals reuniting with their families has led to an increase in need and numbers which have more than quadrupled since 2019. In 2024, UIDN provided 3-4 days of groceries weekly to 1040 unique households with a total of 3,480 unique individuals. UIDN provided 5,082 cases of assistance to a total 16,265 individuals (these are the duplicated number of households receiving food more than once). UIDN also assists new arrivals with household support such as furniture and other items to help people get established in their new homes.

Our rent assistance program helps to prevent eviction and homelessness and assists new arrivals with housing.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $185k to $479k (+159%).
