How Community Access works.
Community Access is a pioneer nonprofit organization based in New York City dedicated to expanding opportunities for people living with mental health concerns to recover from trauma and discrimination. Founded in 1974, the organization has become a leader in supportive housing and social services across New York.
The organization's core services include developing and managing supportive housing units—over 1,100 units created to date—along with job training programs designed specifically for mental health consumers. They provide crisis respite services, health and wellness coordination, and integrated programs including urban farming and pet adoption initiatives that serve as healing tools.
Community Access operates with a recovery-focused model that emphasizes consumer empowerment and advocacy. Their programs address the interconnected needs of housing stability, employment, health care, and social connection for individuals navigating mental health challenges. The organization also provides art-based programming and consumer empowerment training as part of their comprehensive approach to recovery.
Based in New York, NY, Community Access serves individuals across the city and surrounding areas who are experiencing mental health concerns and seeking stable housing, employment support, and community integration. The organization's 1974 founding reflects its long history of innovation in addressing homelessness and mental health housing needs in New York City.

Very clean place, nice rooms and good food. Although they do not handle situations properly. If you're being bullied, threatened or harassed by another guest there, staff will not do anything to stop it and will not take anything seriously. Some staff are well trained and tried to handle situations. But most need extra training or something..

Readers should be aware that this RESPITE center is NOT a treatment center. It is staffed by peers and is non-profit. It is not a hotel. It is not a shelter. It is not a hospital. It is a place for mental health patients to take a break from their usual environment and rest. I went here for a week when my sister passed away. I got what I needed, privacy to grieve. The web site is pretty clear what the center is for. Check your expectations.

This is not a doctor's office. It is a short stay residence which affords clients the opportunity to unwind and relax in a supportive environment which includes meals, quiet, and group therapy provided by volunteers and paraprofessional program staff. There is access to a computer and staff to assist with clients making linkages with medical, housing, legal and social services, including longer term shelters and assistance to make application to more permanent housing programs.
