CAMBA is a non-profit agency that provides services that connect people with opportunities to enhance their quality of life.

Many New Yorkers face daily hurdles such as chronic homelessness, HIV/AIDS, language barriers, domestic violence, necessary job skills, and more. Since 1977, CAMBA has responded to community needs by creating individualized service-oriented programming.

Description:
CAMBA offers integrated services and programs in: Education, Economic Development, Family Support & Youth Development, HIV/AIDS Services, Housing & Housing Services and Legal Services.

CAMBA serves more than 30,000 individuals and families, including 8,000 youth, each year. Specifically, we help people of low-income; persons moving from welfare to work; persons who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or transitioning out of homelessness; persons living with or at risk of HIV/AIDS; immigrants and refugees; children and young adults; entrepreneurs and other groups working to become self sufficient. The majority of CAMBA's clients live work and/or attend school in Brooklyn.

History:
CAMBA was founded in 1977 as the Church Avenue Merchants Block Association. CAMBA has continuously expanded its services in direct response to emerging needs. CAMBA now has more than 40 sites throughout New York City, mainly in Brooklyn, including more than 15 school-based programs.
