OUR IMPACT
By presenting testimony before local and national legislators and working in coalition with other mental health and supportive housing advocates, Community Access influences legislation that protects access to safe, affordable housing and advocates for policies that protect the rights of people with mental health concerns.
TRANSFORMING THE SYSTEM
Community Access has led the charge in calling for non-police alternatives for New Yorkers in emotional distress.
PROMOTING SOCIAL JUSTICE
Community Access played a central role in improving NYPD responses to individuals experiencing emotional distress.
FIGHTING STIGMA
We break down barriers through rallying our community to celebrate the proud heritage of people with mental health concerns.
