Association for Community Living NYS trade organization of nonprofits that provide housing to people living with serious & persistent mental illness.

Every day, 24 hours a day, thousands of skilled and dedicated professionals provide essential rehabilitative services that assist New York State citizens with serious and persistent psychiatric disabilities in rehabilitating their lives. These direct care and supervisory staff, and the community-based programs for which they work, provide essential services including counseling, crisis intervention, symptom management, self-medication training and vocational training, as well as a variety of life-skills training. More than 120 member agencies provide a variety of residential and other rehabilitation services, including:

•community residences for adults in both congregate and apartment settings
•supported housing
•service-enriched single-room occupancy (SRO)
•community residences for children and youth
•residential care centers for adults (RCCA)
•vocational training
•social programs

Our member agencies provide services to people with the greatest needs. All of the people who live in community residences have met New York State’s criteria for serious and persistent psychiatric illness. A large percentage have a history of substance abuse problems as well. Community residences for children serve those who have been diagnosed with a serious emotional disability that requires treatment.

As Chair of the Senate Mental Health Committee, I know that a strong behavioral health workforce is essential to ensuring New Yorkers can access the care and support they need. This year I fought for a Targeted Inflationary Increase in the final state budget to better support our human service workforce. Now, I’m continuing to work alongside advocates to improve health workforce wages. From direct care workers to clinicians and care managers, we must invest in the people who care for others and ensure they can afford to keep doing this essential work.
