The Community Service Society (CSS) is an independent, not-for-profit organization that has been at the forefront of public policy innovations that support low-income New Yorkers for over 175 years. CSS’s Health Initiatives Department runs a number of statewide programs that help New Yorkers find and use their health insurance or otherwise access health care and services, including Community Health Advocates (CHA); the Community Health Access to Addiction and Mental Healthcare Project (CHAMP); the Independent Consumer Advocacy Network (ICAN); and several enrollment assistance programs. These programs are free for New Yorkers.

  • Draft resources for consumers, family members, advocates, providers, and others, as needed.
  • Prepare training materials and fact sheets, as needed.
  • Maintain thorough case records of services provided or referrals.
  • Help identify systemic trends or practices that adversely affect clients and work closely with senior CSS staff and other appropriate stakeholders.
  • Other responsibilities identified by the program.
