Parish & Community Services

The Community Centers are the first line of access to agency services, creating a welcoming, hospitable, engaging environment with services to consumers that balance Crisis Intervention with a Case Management approach. 

The delivery of core social services meets the increasing demand for basic needs, e.g. food, shelter and financial assistance, and ensures the  goal of client autonomy. Workshops may be offered to enhance the knowledge of community members about issues of interest to them, e.g. parenting, financial literacy, health education, resume preparation, etc. When upon assessment it is concluded that we are unable to help a client with the direct services offered by the Community Center, a client is either linked to a Catholic Charities/CCNS program or affiliate (internal resource) or is referred to agencies outside of CCBQ (external resource).  A combination of referrals may be provided. Our Brooklyn Community Centers offer mobile locations in various neighborhoods throughout the borough. Callers to our main Center will be directed to the closest location.

Through the Services for Pregnant Women, we provide Pregnancy Counseling and Supportive Services for women and their families. We help stabilize a mother/family that is in crisis because of an unplanned pregnancy, assist the mother/family in preparation for the birth of the child(ren) and plan for care after birth.  All services are directed toward enabling the mother to have a healthy baby. Services include referral for prenatal care, assistance in locating temporary/permanent housing, counseling, parenting education, information regarding entitlements and some financial aid, as well as provisional baby supplies.
