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. CAMBA’s Resources for Inclusive Support and Empowerment (RISE) Program aims to reduce transmission of HIV, with a focus on men who have sex with men of color (MSMoC), including those who identify as transgender or gender nonconforming (TGNC). RISE will address health promotion through social media campaigns for MSMoC with messages about relevant health issues and preventive health strategies. RISE will also address the social determinant of health (SDOH) social isolation by creating safe, positive spaces for MSMoC to develop meaningful social connections and benefit from the support of peers in overcoming emotional, social, and health issues. The program will conduct support groups for specific LGBTQIA+ populations and host public events open to all LGBTQIA+ individuals in the community. Lastly, RISE will navigate clients to LGBTQIA+-friendly resources in the community with a focus on HIV prevention and legal services that address domestic violence, workplace discrimination or harassment, housing discrimination, and tenancy issues. RISE will provide services to 450 participants.
