Assisting residents in need is an important aspect in creating “One Brooklyn,” and the purpose of this booklet is to raise awareness of much-needed services that New York provides. In addition to this guide, Women’s City Club of New York has created a city-wide directory database online for Brooklyn residents to search for social services, health, education, and employment services. On behalf of our 2.6 million Brooklynites, I would like to thank Women’s City Club of New York for working in conjunction with my office to compile this excellent free services guide. I urge our residents to take advantage of all it has to offer. Eric L.
