About The Hub
The Commonpoint Queens Hub is a one-stop social service center in Elmhurst, Queens. In the community surrounding the Hub more than half of all children live in households that are below or near the poverty level (Citizens’ Committee for Children of New York, 2017). It is also home to one of the most culturally diverse populations in the United States.
The Hub targets community members who are seeking a way out of poverty. The programs and resources offered are designed to serve the area’s diverse population by taking steps such as offering translation assistance in a number of the languages found in the neighborhood. We are making it easier for individuals and families to access and participate in them.
