Who We Are: CAMBA is a community of staff, volunteers, clients, donors, neighbors and partners who work together to build an inclusive New York City, where all children and adults have access to the resources and supports they need to thrive. We take a comprehensive approach by offering more than 180 integrated programs in: Education & Youth Development, Family Support, Job Training & Employment Support Services, Health, Housing, and Legal Services. We reach more than 73,000 individuals and families, including almost 13,000 youth. CAMBA serves a diverse cross section of New Yorkers from new mothers in Brownsville to job seekers in the Rockaways. More than half of our clients are immigrants and refugees from around the globe. Over 85% of our families are in living in poverty, reflecting the challenges faced by nearly 1.7 million New Yorkers today.

Emergency Transitional Congregate Housing Program: 19 units of emergency transitional housing to clients coming from HIV/AIDS Services Administration (HASA) Emergency Placement Unit. Clients reside in our 24-hour congregate residence located at 23 and 25 Winthrop Street. HASA is the sole referral source for this housing. Each individual has their own lockable room but shares common space such as the bathrooms, living room and kitchen. The program provides case management and support services in a secure environment with a focus on the areas of psychiatric treatment and medication compliance, access to benefits, money management, substance use management, housing crisis management and establishment of a network of family and/or friends. Staff will also pay special attention to factors precipitating housing loss and current needs and difficulties. This housing is short-term and time limited, with housing lasting for 180 days or less from the date of placement.
