Setting for the 2009 film "Precious"

I believe the answer is:

harlem

(Other definitions for harlem that I've seen before include "NY community" , "Father (French)" , "Part of New York City" , "'District of Manhattan, noted for jazz clubs (6)'" , "some of the Big Apple" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
