Social Care Networks

VIP Community Services is a proud member of the Social Care Networks, a new pre-crisis, preventative initiative funded by the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust with oversight provided by The Fund for Public Health in New York City and the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Our Community Engagement Specialists engage individuals and groups in the community at the street level and at the organization level in conversation, to ensure residents know about resources they or their families may be eligible for, and to connect them to community-based services to address unmet behavioral health, physical health and social needs before their needs become acute or need urgent care via New York’s emergency and crisis response system.
