Urban Resource Institute

Domestic abuse treatment centers rarely advertise, but they don’t need to. Their presence in a neighborhood speaks for itself—quiet, steady, and necessary. Urban Resource Institute operates out of 41-49 Benham St in Flushing, a stretch of low-rise buildings where the hum of daily life rolls on without fanfare. The work here involves shelter, counseling, legal advocacy, and case management, all of it designed to move quietly behind the scenes. You won’t see signage or foot traffic, but the need is real, and the resources are there for those who reach out.

Flushing’s mix of residential blocks and small businesses makes it an unlikely but practical home for this kind of service. The address is easy to find, tucked between a laundromat and a bodega, though most people only learn about it when they need it. If you’re looking for support, the number to call is (212) 784-5713. For directions, the map pins it down precisely: here.
