solving the needs of urban communities

We focus on workforce development, education and health & wellness in urban communities

National Center for Urban Solutions (NCUS) is a diversified social enterprise with an interdisciplinary approach to solving the needs of urban and underrepresented communities in health, workforce, and education. Our mission is to be the leading corporation advancing equity, community, health, and economic stability in urban communities.

Founded in 1993 by John H. Gregory, NCUS has served the urban community for over 25 years moving individuals mired in the negative impacts of urban poverty to socio economic self-sufficiency. Driven by our integrated model, we have built a national reputation through our grassroots philosophy.

NCUS’ award winning programs have been recognized locally by the City of Columbus, nationally by the White House under former Presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush, and by The Department of Labor and HUD as Best Practice Model. We are dedicated to uplifting and empowering those who call these communities home.
