Become a Member
Alianza CUSP was formed in June 2013 when representatives of three cooperative businesses (Sí Se Puede, Beyond Care and Golden Steps) and the Center for Family Life identified a need to create a space to share experiences and knowledge, grow together as businesses, and be part of a social movement for immigrant workers in the neighborhood of Sunset Park, Brooklyn. After three years of strategy planning, Alianza CUSP was incorporated in 2016 as a 501 (c)(3) non-for-profit membership organization.

What people are saying

Here you will find professionals who love their work and offer you the peace of mind of being in good hands. Selected and valued by other families who they also help. Tranquility and professionalism.

“I’m the first to admit we have a problem pet. So, we were nervous about calling in a professional pet care provider. The team at Trusty Amigos asked all the right questions and put our family at ease immediately. Our Jack was relaxed in his spot when we returned home, which is a sure sign of his being trauma free. Jack clearly had a great day with his new friends at Trusty.  I highly recommend Trusty Amigos.”

I’ve used them several times and the sitters are excellent. Every sitter I’ve had was experienced and comfortable watching three kids. I’ve found them very reliable and prefer them to other services

Golden Steps was simply the best decision I made regarding my father’s care… Golden Steps were local, had experience with Alzheimer’s and emphasized their willingness to be flexible. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for compassionate, affordable care for their loved ones.

“Our experience with Maharlika has been excellent. Jean does a wonderful job cleaning. The price was competitive, and the quality outstanding. In an industry that has a reputation for low wages, high-turnover, and low morale, Maharlika has created a win-win. Good jobs, decent wages, and outstanding value for the customer.”

“We operate a very busy medical practice and hiring Pa’Lante was one of our best decisions. They are reliable, they are very professional, always available when we need them in a rush. We feel they are part of our team.”
