In December 2023, CACF released the “2023 Social Impact Report: AAPI Community Support Initiative,” a detailed report breaking down the impact of the NYC Council-funded AAPI Community Support Initiative.

The AAPI Community Support Initiative is a necessary component to provide culturally responsive care for our communities where the work would not be possible without the staff who operate at the core of the provisions and deliverables. Providers contracted under this initiative are able to hire and expand staff capacity to ensure our communities are not isolated from affirming and life-saving care. About 70% of AAPI Community-Based Organizations were able to close 85% of all client cases through the work of thousands of staff that are supported by this funding. 

This new impact report identifies that stakeholders to the AAPI Community Support Initiative can be found across all five boroughs of the city. Commercial, residential, and social hubs that are home to AAPI communities can be found all across Queens and Brooklyn, with condensed concentrations in areas of The Bronx and Manhattan, and an exponentially growing base in Staten Island.
