About NADAP:
NADAP’s portfolio of comprehensive services reflects its mission of ‘Empowering Individuals and Strengthening Communities through Healthcare and Employment.’ Founded in 1971, NADAP is a private nonprofit organization that serves low-income and underserved individuals and families in need. Over the past 50 years, NADAP has expanded its service portfolio to respond to the broader needs of New Yorkers struggling with behavioral and physical health conditions as well as poverty and other social determinants of health.
Today, NADAP operates a full range of wraparound services and programs including substance use disorder (SUD), addiction assessment and case management, health home care coordination (HHCC), comprehensive employment services for those with barriers to employment, and health insurance navigation and enrollment. These services connect more than 35,000 disadvantaged New Yorkers annually with jobs, treatment and recovery supports, medical and mental health care, and housing, thus helping transform and save lives.
Meet Erin:
Erin is a client who was enrolled in NADAP’s maternal health program. She faced opioid use disorder while pregnant and, with the help of NADAP’s maternal health team, advocated for herself to receive the necessary treatment. Despite experiencing challenges, including a relapse and a case opened by Child Services, Erin’s determination and the support of the maternal health team allowed her to stay with her children. She successfully graduated from the maternal health program and now aspires to become a peer advocate herself.

On this International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, we recognize that 23% of New Yorkers live in poverty.
At NADAP, we believe everyone deserves a chance to thrive. That's why our wraparound services improve access to healthcare, create pathways to sustainable employment, and support health and wellness.
Through our programs, we're working to build a more equitable New York where poverty doesn't define any#poverty;#socialjusticev#equityocialJustice #Equity
NADAP was honored to receive a visit from InUnity Alliance’s (IUA) Executive Team, Jihoon Kim, Amanda Semidey and Sarah DuVall at our flagship Grand Central location.
After a tour of our offices and a peek into 2 Vocational and Employment workshops, we discussed all the various programs that NADAP offers that help 35,000 underserved individuals annually, over lunch.
Earlier this year, we collaborated with InUnity Alliance to help restore $11.4M in NY State funding for Vocational and Job Placement Services, providing vital support to individuals in recovery.
Our guests from IUA got to see first-hand, the importance of these essential Vocational and Job Placement Services to individuals with SUD in the recovery process.
NADAP extends our warmest wishes to those celebrating Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
May you have a happy, healthy, and sweet New Year. Shana Tova U’metukah!
