QQOur Mission CAMBA is a non-profit agency that provides services that connect people with opportunities to enhance their quality of life.

QQWhy We Exist Many New Yorkers face daily hurdles such as housing instability, living with HIV/AIDS, language barriers, domestic violence, and insufficient job skills. Since 1977, CAMBA has helped New Yorkers transform their lives by providing holistic programs to individuals, families and communities.

QQWhat We Do CAMBA takes a comprehensive approach to helping individuals, families and communities thrive, offering integrated programs in: Economic Development, Education and Youth Development, Family Support, Health, Housing, and Legal Services. Our programs build inclusive communities where New Yorkers have the support they need to reach their full potential.

QQWho We Serve CAMBA reaches more than 45,000 individuals and families each year, including 10,000 youth. We serve 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 percent of our families are living in poverty, reflecting the challenges faced by nearly 1.7 million New Yorkers today.

QQWho We Are CAMBA’s dedicated staff of over 1,600 represents the diversity of the communities we serve: 89 percent of staff are people of color, 15 percent are former CAMBA clients with intimate knowledge of the issues our current clients face, and 25 percent speak a language other than English, accounting for 35 different languages.
