New Do-Gooder Org in Former Nonprofit Space

The office space on 7th Street between 2nd and 3rd avenues that used to house the Center for an Urban Environment is now being leased by Family Home Care Services, an affiliate of Catholic Charities that provides in-home care to the elderly, ill and disabled. What’s more interesting about the space, however, is how it was abruptly vacated by the Center for an Urban Environment last April: With almost no notice, the nonprofit’s board of directors decided to shut down the 30-year-old organization because of financial woes. The nonprofit hadn’t been headquartered at the 7th Street location for very long. GMAP
