Essential Community Solutions

Formerly known as HIV/Health Home Services, ECS's mission is to improve the health and lives of individuals in vulnerable communities.

What We Do

Nuestra Historia

In response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic in the 1980s, The Salvation Army opened its Essential Community Solutions (ECS) Center, previously known as HIV Health Home Services. At the Bronx center, we provide intensive medical case management and care coordination to meet the specific needs of New Yorkers suffering from HIV/AIDS, and as of 2012, expanding to other chronic health illnesses, including diabetes, asthma, hypertension, obesity, substance abuse, and mental health disorders.

Soluciones Comunitarias Esenciales (ECS), anteriormente conocido como HIV Health/Home Services, se creó en respuesta a la pandemia del VIH/SIDA en la década de 1980. El Ejército de Salvación abrió su centro de Servicios para el VIH en el Bronx. Comenzó como un programa intensivo de gestión de casos médicos y coordinación de la atención que satisfacía las necesidades muy específicas de los neoyorquinos que padecían VIH/SIDA.

Today, Essential Community Solutions focuses on helping disenfranshised individuals and families in the community to work towards stability and improved health. We provide referrals to mental health and substance abuse services, support groups, nutrition and health education, legal assistance, housing assistance, financial counseling, emergency food, and travel assistance. Once clients develop independence in managing their needs they can graduate from the program and step down in services.

En 2012, los servicios ofrecidos en HIV Health/Home Services se ampliaron para incluir muchas enfermedades crónicas como diabetes, asma, hipertensión, obesidad, abuso de sustancias y trastornos de salud mental. Puedes conocer más sobre los servicios que ofrece nuestro centro en nuestra Memoria Anual 2021.

If interested in learning more about Essential Community Solutions, please reach out to our Intake Director, Daniel Serrano at Daniel.serrano@use.salvationarmy.org or use the contact form below. Someone from our team will reach out to you shortly!

La misión de ECS es mejorar la salud y la vida de las personas en comunidades vulnerables brindándoles herramientas, recursos y orientación para los problemas que se enumeran a continuación.

"The Salvation Army here turns nobody away. I see The Salvation Army as home because a lot of people have experienced a lot of things and you really don't know where a person has been on the other side of the desk."

"The Salvation Army helped me get an apartment and they are the reason I am where I am. They remind me about things like appointments and help me do things I love, like drawing and coloring. I'm feeling strong now because of the Army, and I'm ready to move on and do things differently."
