Social Services
The CRC Case Management Program, through which we provide comprehensive social and human services, has been a cornerstone of the organization for many years. Families, in particular new immigrant populations, cannot achieve true integration without securing their basic necessities such as housing, food, and safety. It is with this understanding that our case management department offers a wrap-around platform of services that helps families stabilize so they may attain self-sufficiency.
The CRC Case Management department targets the new immigrant and low-income families of Mamaroneck and surrounding areas in Southern Westchester. The CRC Case Management Program is composed of two bilingual case managers on staff who assist families with housing, eviction prevention through a CRC Emergency Fund and landlord mediation, food security, public entitlements, immigration, and a host of social services and referrals to health care providers from an array of partners.
CRC provides culturally competent services, meets people where they are, and advocates for clients every step of the way, from reviewing apartment listing to helping them communicate with landlords and accompanying clients to Furniture Sharehouse to furnish their homes. CRC also offers financial assistance for rent arrears and eviction prevention through CRC Emergency Fund and partners.
Please contact Selene Gonzalez at (914) 835-1512 or at [email protected] with any questions regarding social services.

Domestic Violence
Our Voz y Vida Program emerged as a result of the increasing immigrant population in Westchester County and correlating challenges related to domestic violence and sexual assault (DV/SA). We found that most of the victims/survivors would never consider walking into a DV/SA service office. Instead, the vast majority were walking into our multiservice agency for assistance securing basic human needs, and for help accessing pathways to finding jobs and English classes, to name a few. For them, CRC was a trusted and anonymous safe haven where they could open up without the stigma that they felt was attached to some mainstream programs. As a result, CRC took a leadership role in the County by launching Voz y Vida, mainly focusing on providing culturally competent direct services to those who needed them the most.
Voz y Vida is comprised of service provision, capacity building/cross training, and community education for the Westchester County immigrant population. Along with general case management, Voz y Vida provides crisis intervention, individual and group counseling, DV/SA case management for all needs including protection orders, safety planning, court accompaniment, emergency material assistance, and U-Visa applications, among other support services. DV/SA victims and survivors are also connected to our Education and Workforce Development programs all of which increase self-sufficiency and financial independence. Survivors can access adult literacy, English as a Second Language, GED/high school equivalency, computer classes and job trainings.
The goal of Voz y Vida is to improve the quality of life, create hope by ending the cycle of domestic violence and sexual assault, and help to establish a healthy, violence free environment for DV/SA survivors and their children.
