Non-profit and community organizations and care facilities in New York City

The records are every named object in OpenStreetMap, inside the five boroughs, that carries one of six tags: office=ngo, office=charity, office=association, office=foundation, amenity=social_facility or amenity=community_centre. They were read with one Overpass API request; the OpenStreetMap data is as of 14:26 UTC on 29 September 2026. Of the 661 places, 382 are social facilities — 87 of them nursing homes or assisted-living residences, the care facilities in this register’s name — and 143 are community centres. OpenStreetMap records no legal status: 616 places carry no operator:type at all, so this is a register of non-profit and community organizations and care facilities as OpenStreetMap maps them, not a list of registered charities. One record is left out by hand: way 284847948, a three-storey building on North Brother Island tagged social_facility=nursing_home, named “Nursing Home”, with the placeholder building number 2000000: the island is an uninhabited bird sanctuary closed to the public, among the ruins of the old Riverside Hospital, and nothing there cares for anyone.

Neighbourhoods are New York City’s 2020 Neighborhood Tabulation Areas (NTAs), drawn by the Department of City Planning and published on NYC Open Data. A place is filed in the NTA whose outline contains its point; nothing is guessed from an address or a nearest town. NTA names follow the city’s, and the city says an NTA is a statistical area that only roughly matches the neighbourhood a New Yorker would name.

Needs are read from the tags first and the name last. An outreach facility is not counted as mental health unless its tags or its name say so; an adult day care is filed by whom it serves (social_facility:for); “Advocacy and rights” needs a tag or a name that says so, and the other NGO, charity, association and foundation offices are “Associations, charities and foundations”. 77 places match no need and are listed without one. 22 names occur more than once (50 places): they are separate objects in OpenStreetMap, and every count here counts places.

Websites are written as tagged, with two exceptions from one look-up of every website’s domain on 30 September 2026: 4 whose domain no longer exists are not written, and 8 tagged http:// are written https://, because the site answered over https that day.

Corrections belong in OpenStreetMap: every place, in its neighbourhood’s list and in its record on the search desk, links to its OpenStreetMap object and to the editor (“Fix on OSM”). A change appears here at the next labs.llc read, which has no fixed date; this page always says when it was read. Something else wrong? Write to labs@labs.llc.

Licence. The records are © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License (ODbL 1.0); register.json is the derived database this page reads, offered under the same licence with the same attribution. The NTA outlines are the NYC Department of City Planning’s (NYC Open Data, dataset 9nt8-h7nd, whose metadata names no licence; the city’s open data terms of use apply). nyc.org.im, which carried this register until labs 548, named its places after GeoNames (CC BY 4.0); each of its old addresses now leads to the neighbourhood carrying its name when that holds any of its records, else to the page holding most of them. The street map is OpenFreeMap (© OpenMapTiles, data © OpenStreetMap contributors); it loads only when you open it.

What you type stays in this page: the search runs in your browser over register.json, and nothing is sent to labs.llc. Near me reads your position once, on a press, to sort the list; it is never written into the address or sent anywhere, though centring the street map makes your browser ask OpenFreeMap for the tiles of that area.
