We reach more than 72,000 individuals and families each year at our 100 locations, including 10,000 youth.  CAMBA serves a diverse cross section of New Yorkers from new mothers in Brownsville to job seekers in the Rockaways.

Program Overview

The Van Dyke Cornerstone Case Management Expansion is an enhancement to CAMBA’s DYCD-funded Cornerstone Community Center at Van Dyke Houses that brings an intensive, case-management approach to young adult participants ages 18–21. Using a strength-based, youth-centered, and trauma-informed lens, the program team engages high-risk young adults, develops Individual Service Plans (ISPs) addressing education, employment, health, and life skills, and acts as “expediters” connecting participants to City agencies and community providers for health, mental health, employment training, housing, food, and other supports.
