We encourage those who can take advantage of the ACCESS HRA website to submit benefit applications. Community-Based Organizations also provide help with completing applications and screening applicants for eligibility to the various programs. Some locations can also help you submit your documents to DSS electronically. 

You can get more information by contacting a Community-Based Organization listed by borough below. The hours of operation for these sites may change. 

Some Community Based Organization locations now require an appointment for in-person service. Please call the location for more information.
