In Manhattan, the multi-service community agency Hudson Guild has this task. Hudson Guild is an old-school social service agency, created in the Chelsea neighborhood in the 1890s to help the city’s burgeoning immigrant community who often found themselves living in crowded tenements. “For example: someone calls and says, ‘I need help with my mother who’s 90 years old, she needs assistance with. Can you help us?’ It’s more than giving a number. It’s talking about what that caregiver is doing for their mother, any resources they need other than Access-A-Ride, any resources for the caller themselves. So again, it’s more glorified: connecting that person from A to B.”
