Security Guard, Van Dyke III Supportive Housing

Who We Are

CAMBA is a community of staff, volunteers, clients, donors, neighbors, and partners working together to build an inclusive New York City where all children and adults have 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 almost 80,000 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 living in poverty, reflecting the challenges faced by nearly 1.7 million New Yorkers today.

Van Dyke III is a 180‑unit supportive/affordable housing development for individuals and families located on the campus of Van Dyke Houses, a NYCHA‑owned public housing development in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn. The facility provides 54 units for New York‑/New York III formerly homeless families under NYC 15/15. The remaining 126 units are for low‑income households, including a live‑in superintendent. CAMBA will have a full on‑site office suite and offer case management to promote healthy living, connection to medical, mental health, and substance treatment, and assistance to tenants in accessing and maintaining public benefits.

Additional services include computer trainings and resume workshops, financial literacy programs, referral services to other CAMBA programs and local organizations, community‑building activities, and other supports to help tenants succeed and remain stably housed.
