HAITIAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY COALITION

Haitian-American Community Coalition (HCC) is a nonprofit community-based service provider dedicated to empowering the people of Brooklyn through advocacy, health promotion, disease prevention, and supportive services since 1982. Haitian-American Community Coalition serves tens of thousands of constituents each year, 98% of whom are Caribbean, Latin American, and Black Americans. HCC’s doors are open to all New Yorkers facing food insecurity, financial crises, social injustices, and unsafe home environments.

Haitian-American Community Coalition is a leader in HIV education, prevention, testing, care, and PrEP/PEP services in NYC. HCC also operates an Article-31 mental health clinic, supportive housing to people in crises, mobile community outreach services, English as a second language courses, document translation, and so much more through their vast network of NYC-based partners offering resources and benefits to those in need.

In the wake of COVID-19, countless people experienced food insecurity and financial hardships with nowhere to go and no one to help. That’s when HCC shined as a beacon of hope for their community. Thanks to a grant from the Robinhood Foundation, HCC collaborates with the Flatlands Community Partnership to feed hundreds of families in need each week. Another incredible way that HCC works to empower this community.
