Since its founding more thirty years ago, Comunilife has been committed to providing vulnerable communities with housing and culturally sensitive supportive services. Each year, our rich continuum of care supports the needs of more than 2,200 low-income and vulnerable New Yorkers. Comunilife provides over 2,000 units of affordable and supported transitional and permanent housing for homeless adults struggling with HIV/AIDS, serious mental and behavioral health issues, and other chronic medical conditions. Life Is Precious™, our unique suicide prevention program for Latina teens, is nationally recognized for effectively addressing the needs of the highest-risk group of teenagers in the country. Our Medical Respite program arranges short-term supportive housing for recently discharged hospital patients who lack appropriate housing in which to recuperate. All Comunilife activities are tailored to reflect the program participants’ perspectives, needs and strengths; our programs are guided by community-defined best practices. Our signature training program – the Multicultural Relational Approach for Diverse Populations – equips our staff to incorporate clients’ cultural and personal perspectives into their overall approach to care. Because of our clear respect for understanding – and desire to work in partnership with – those whom we serve, we successfully engage some of the most marginalized and hardest-to-reach people in the city.
