Social Service Navigators Program
ContraCOVID NYC's Social Services Navigator Program helps to navigate clients through different resources so that they can become more self sufficient community members. In particular, we focus on resources for housing, finances, employment, food, access to health care, education, transportation, among others. ContraCOVID members schedule phone calls to help non-English speakers translate and acces resources such as SNAP, WIC, and online documents.
