SOCIAL SERVICES: ACCESS

To address the longer term needs of asylum seekers and their families, the MSHRP's ACCESS team works with Mount Sinai social workers and partner organizations to provide linkages to social services. This assures that survivors have access to food, clothing, housing, English classes, and support systems such as Medicaid. ACCESS also facilitates referrals for ongoing free or low-cost psychological, primary, and specialty care within the Mount Sinai healthcare system and at outside health centers in the New York City area. Additionally, the ACCESS team works with refugee resettlement organizations to help clients who are eligible to work achieve job training.
