24 Apr Strengthening Community Support: BRAVE Team Initiatives
Community Needs Assessment
Louis, Rafael, and Victor from PHRC’s Building Resiliency and Vaccine Equity (BRAVE) team are actively engaging with the community at the 9 Million Reasons food pantry in Long Island City. Their mission is to identify and address the specific needs of residents concerning NYC benefits and healthcare, ensuring that essential services are accessible to those who need them most.
BRAVE’s Impact in Long Island City
By interacting directly with the community, the BRAVE team not only gathers vital data but also builds trust and awareness among the residents. This initiative is part of KCS’s broader effort to enhance the well-being of communities through focused, actionable intelligence on public health needs.
