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.

Brownsville Safety Alliance Mobile Response program is part of the Neighborhood Safety Alliance Hub in Brownsville. The Brownsville Hub’s mission is to increase access to health, behavioral health, housing, employment and supportive services, as part of a hyper-local strategy to improve public safety and reduce crime, particularly gun violence. In close partnership with ICL as the coordinating body, the goal of the Mobile Response program is to provide care to a single client or family unit and connect them with the services and resources they need.  The Mobile Response Program is an integral part of the Hub Steering Committee that meets monthly to discuss broader issues of community safety and wellness.
