Community Resources

If you are enrolled in Medicaid and you or your family are looking for support with food, transportation, or housing, there may be help available to you. Medicaid Members can reach out to a Social Care Network to discuss their social needs. For those who may benefit from additional supports, you may work with someone to get connected to the services that are right for you, depending on health status and need.

About the Community

Williamsburg is located on the northern edge of Brooklyn, bordering Greenpoint, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Bushwick and is easily accessible by mass transit. Home to a diverse ethnic community, Williamsburg contains a thriving art community, an assortment of restaurants, the nation's largest Hassidic Jewish community, and one of New York's largest Latino communities. In recent years Williamsburg has attracted a large community of artists, musicians, and more recently a growing number of upwardly mobile professionals. "South Williamsburg" refers to an area south of the Williamsburg Bridge, which is occupied predominantly by Yiddish-speaking Hasidim. Further north is an area known as the "South Side," occupied by a diverse Latin community.

The "North Side," traditionally Polish and Italian, is now host to a large community of musicians, artists, and recently arrived Manhattanites. East Williamsburg is home to the Italian American, African American, and the Hispanic communities and is located in the area between Williamsburg and Bushwick.
