COLONY-SOUTH BROOKLYN HOUSES' MISSION IS TO OFFER HUMANITARIAN SERVICES TO THE DISADVANTAGED PEOPLE IN THE BOROUGH OF BROOKLYN, NY. SINCE 1904, COLONY-SOUTH HAS PROVIDED NUMEROUS SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES, MANY OF WHOM HAVE EXPERIENCED HOMELESSNESS, UNEMPLOYMENT, AND A VARIETY OF DEVELOPMENTAL AND EMOTIONAL DIFFICULTIES. COLONY-SOUTH OPERATES UNDER THE POLICY THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE ILL-CLOTHED AND ILL-HOUSED CANNOT FIND WORK AND PEOPLE WHO ARE UNEDUCATED CANNOT REACH THEIR POTENTIAL AS HUMAN BEINGS. FOR OVER A CENTURY, COLONY HAS DEDICATED ITSELF TO HELPING ALL OF ITS DIVERSE CLIENTS EMPOWER THEMSELVES, TAKE CHARGE OF THEIR LIVES AND BUILD STABLE FUTURES FOR THEIR FAMILIES. COLONY-SOUTH CONTINUES TO CHAMPION THOSE LESS FORTUNATE, AS THEY CLIMB THE LADDER FROM WELFARE TO WORK AND BECOME PRODUCTIVE, CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS OF THEIR COMMUNITIES.
