ContraCOVID NYC's Social Services Navigator Program helps to navigate clients through different resources to fulfill their needs. In particular, we focus on resources for housing, finances, employment, food, access to health care, education, transportation, among others. ContraCOVID members schedule phone calls to help non-English speakers translate and navigate online resources such as SNAP, WIC, and online documents.

Translation Services
