Queens Community House

Queens Community House (QCH) is a multi-site, multi-service settlement house that serves the diverse neighborhoods of Queens. We serve residents of all ages, races, faiths, and ethnicities while supporting the viability of the borough as a whole.

QCH was founded in 1975 (as Forest Hills Community House) to help heal the wounds of a neighborhood conflict. Over four decades, our reach and breadth have grown; today we offer a broad network of comprehensive services at 40 sites in 15 neighborhoods allowing us to impact individuals, families, and entire communities.

💙 Our Holistic Approach:
  • Comprehensive Services: Addressing immediate needs and barriers to personal, family, and community stability
  • Interconnected Support: Recognizing the relationship between housing, health, employment, education, and wellbeing
  • Life-Long Programs: Supporting neighbors to thrive in school, make healthy life choices, succeed in education, become engaged citizens, stabilize housing situations, and enjoy their senior years
  • Community Impact: Each year, our programs help thousands of neighbors achieve wellness and life-long security
