Joint Ventures
The UJO works with other community organizations and government agencies on planning and implementing new neighborhood-wide programs in the areas of health, housing and the environment. The UJO has had a long-standing and successful collaboration with the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty. Many of the valuable services that the UJO provides would not be possible without the dedication and cooperation of Met Council. In addition the UJO has well-established partnerships with the Jewish Community Council of Greater Coney Island, the Ridgewood Bushwick Senior Citizens Council, and many New York State and New York City agencies including the Department of Health, the Department of Motor Vehicles, the New York City Human Resources Administration, New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the New York City Department of Youth and Community Development, the Consortium for Worker Education and others. The UJO is also a founding member of Community Alliance for the Environment (CAFE), a coalition of ethnic and community groups dedicated to keeping Williamsburg an environmentally safe and clean neighborhood.
