Community Support Network

The Community Support Network is part of HealthyNYC, a citywide effort to help New Yorkers live longer, healthier lives. We connect individuals and families to critical resources that address:

Chronic Disease: Support for heart disease, diabetes, and cancer screenings to reduce preventable deaths.
Mental and Emotional Health: Stress, anxiety, and crisis support to lower suicide rates and promote resilience.
Substance Use and Harm Reduction: Treatment and overdose prevention to reduce drug-related deaths by 25%.
Personal and Community Safety: Resources to promote safer homes, neighborhoods, and overall well-being, aligning with a 30% homicide reduction goal.
Maternal and Infant Health: Resources for pregnant individuals, improving birth outcomes and reducing disparities.
Food, Housing, and Economic Stability: Connections to food, housing and career pathways for long-term health and security.

Life’s challenges can be overwhelming, but no one has to face them alone. Find help through the resources and organizations listed below.
