Crisis intervention services is a resource to help people when in serious need. Families who have no health insurance and must pay for medical bills; an elderly woman who loses her husband and faces eviction; a poor person discharged from the hospital with no place to go - the cases are endless and always varied. Additionally, our benefits enrollment program provides support to clients in both education and enrollment into new york city's public benefits programs, including medicaid, child & family health plus, and the supplemental nutrition assistance program.
