Vice President of Housing, Scattered Site Housing

Who We Are: CAMBA is a community of staff, volunteers, clients, donors, neighbors and partners who work together to build an inclusive New York City, where all children and adults have access to the resources and supports, they need to thrive.  We take a comprehensive approach by offering more than 180 integrated programs in: Education & Youth Development, Family Support, Job Training & Employment Support Services, Health, Housing, and Legal Services. We reach almost 80,000 individuals and families, including almost 13,000 youth. CAMBA serves a diverse cross section of New Yorkers from new mothers in Brownsville to job seekers in the Rockaways. More than half of our clients are immigrants and refugees from around the globe. Over 85% of our families are living in poverty, reflecting the challenges faced by nearly 1.7 million New Yorkers today.

The Scattered Site Housing Program (SSHP) is a community based, permanent, supportive housing program for HIV/AIDS Services Administration (HASA) clients. All units are leased in the agency's name.  Seventy-five percent of the units are for single individuals and twenty-five percent are for families.  Both case management and housing maintenance services are provided.  In addition, clients receive partial financial assistance with their utility bills.  Clients with income other than Public Assistance must pay thirty percent of their household's income to the program as rent.

Program Description

Our supportive housing programs include Scattered Site Housing Programs (SSHP) and Emergency transitional Housing (ETHP). These programs provide hundreds of units of housing in the community and SRO type housing in our 24 hour congregate residences to individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS, other chronic health conditions, mental illness, and/or substance use disorders.

Our programs provide case management services to ensure that clients are connected to and maintain primary health care; secure behavioral health care when needed; and are connected to other services that support them in becoming and remaining permanently housed. CAMBA's holistic approach includes providing services to family members as needed.

The programs also provide operational support, including but not limited to, assistance with moving; setting up utility services; and apartment repairs.
