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.
 

Case Management and Supportive Services Program (CMSS) provides community-based HIV/AIDS case management, health education/risk reduction and the provision of food voucher services to individuals People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), that have income below 500% of Federal Poverty Level based on household size and are New York State residents. This dynamic model of case management, health education/risk reduction and food voucher services will actively address the multiple needs of PLWHA and remove the barriers that prevent retention in care and treatment. This case management model serves as a bridge to help consumers learn to navigate the health care and support system and gain the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively self-manage their care. It also helps support consumer entry into the full continuum of care that is available. Case management efforts must focus on improving health outcomes, leading to viral suppression.
