Food and Benefits Access
Food & Benefits Access strengthens the capacity of our citywide network of emergency food providers and helps distribute culturally appropriate, nutritious foods and programming in the five boroughs. FBA ensures that New Yorkers who need it receive critical housing and utilities support and are enrolled into benefit programs. We collaborate and advocate together with partners to increase the supply of healthy food and ensure equitable access citywide.
Health Equity
The HEU was established in January of 2021 and works to improve access to preventative health care services, screenings and access to a medical home for under- and uninsured populations. The Unit started with the launch of the Choose Healthy Life Black Clergy Action Plan (CHL) to raise awareness, educate the community on preventative measures, and most importantly provide access to COVID-19 testing for high-risk communities through the Black church. CHL has brought together local United Way agencies under the UWNYC, which serves as its implementation partner. The HEU is currently launching other health initiatives and a Health Equity Cabinet to address social determinants of health and best practices for community-driven approaches to address health disparities.
