For Youth, Adults, Families & Seniors

Welcome to NYC Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) Community Action Programs!


What Are Community Action Programs? 

DYCD’s Community Action Programs support and strengthen families using a holistic, strength-based approach. These programs serve the entire household by providing comprehensive case management and connecting families to essential resources. 

NYC residents 18 and older can access a wide range of services tailored to their unique needs, available citywide. 

Our programs promote empowerment and help address the specific needs of each family member.
