As a native New Yorker, I love knowing that I am helping members of my community and in doing so improving life in the city for everyone. The internal satisfaction I get from my job assisting others is deeply rewarding.

ACMH was a gamechanger for me. I have better housing because of ACMH. I have a job because of ACMH. I am happy because of what ACMH has helped me achieve. So many people in NYC struggle to find a home, to care for themselves and to manage their wellness. ACMH helps us by finding safe places to live and then by teaching life skills so people can get on their feet and take care of themselves.

ACMH has taught me how to empower and inspire the people we serve. Seeing change happen in the lives of those we serve is moving, it is to see real impact in real time. Working at ACMH transcends the traditional idea of work as it is really to labor in the service of humanity.

ACMH gave me a home. Literally. I had not had a home setting in more than 10 years. I had been in the system, relying on hospitals. I was angry. It was me against the world. The day I met a caseworker from ACMH my entire life changed. That day, they drove me to a house to see if it might be a place I would like to live. I loved it. In that instant, my life changed.

ACMH is a team. This allows me to do my best work.
I feel very included on the team, I am a peer and I am a valued member of the team regardless of what my colleagues’ titles or degrees are. I am seen as relevant. I am a better peer as a result of my team. I bring something unique to the equation. That is a really nice thing. And I think clients see that and get a lot out of that.

Director of Care Management Services
ACMH’s CMS program hosts quarterly community meetings in restaurants centrally located in Times Square. It’s always a pleasure to have members participate especially in geographic areas that are often intimidating to them, places they tend to feel unwelcome. These gatherings reflect the best of ACMH and make me proud to work for this organization.

Peer Specialist
Peers are a key component to the ACMH organization because we understand where the client is, we relate, and that helps open the door to relationships in a huge way. People want to work, they want to function in the community, but without support they do not know how to start. I learned how to turn life around and I can do that for others now. I love my job, I want to do this forever.
