Unique People Services, Inc. (UPS) is a New York-based nonprofit organization founded by Lynn Wonsang in 1991.

Our mission is to serve–holistically and without judgment–those who may have been denied compassionate and considerate treatment elsewhere due to their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, developmental level, health status, or criminal or substance use history. We are dedicated to providing a home and supportive services to persons with special and challenging needs–men and women we consider to be members of our family. 

Since 1991, we have grown and now operate supportive housing programs in the Bronx, Manhattan and Brooklyn, and Queens. Each year more than 1,000 persons stay within one of our residences. They receive meals and other support services that include case management and focusing on achieving the highest possible level of independent living. We offer both transitional and permanent housing for formerly homeless persons with HIV/AIDS, long-term and permanent housing for formerly homeless persons with mental illness, and permanent housing for adults with developmental disabilities.
