This program serves residents in Bronx Community District 4. Case managers provide case management and casework counseling through the broad and diverse spectrum of services that BronxWorks offers to address families’ needs.

Cases are referred by the NYC Administration for Children’s Services and community service providers. Self-referrals and walk-ins are also welcome.

Community Impact
