CCNY, Community Connections of New York

CCNY has identified emerging unmet needs in the Erie County system of care. Guided by thirty years of research by John Kretzmann and John L. McKnight, we will seek out community assets in Erie County to provide neighborhood supports for families: individuals, groups, institutions, and economic resources. In phase one, we will target specific zip codes and census tracts where the gap between those in the system of care and number of assets is greatest. During phase two, we will move beyond the target areas to support the region.
