With support from the New York Community Trust, HITE is launching a new outreach program to engage and connect providers working with children and families in New York City’s most disadvantaged neighborhoods. The program, HITE Community Connections, will include forums in each of ten target communities for agencies that offer preventive services, medical and mental health care, benefits assistance, education, recreation, and more. Each meeting will provide agency representatives with an opportunity to share resource information, learn about new services, and participate in an open discussion to address common information and referral challenges. The HITE Community Connections program aims to strengthen linkages and improve access to vital tools and information for providers, ultimately helping them to better serve their community and improve the continuum of care for at-risk children and families.
