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 live in poverty, reflecting the challenges faced by nearly 1.7 million New Yorkers today.

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 Brooklyn 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.
