Entitlements Spec-Coordinator-ACT34801

The ACT (Assertive Community Treatment) program provides intensive, mobile mental health care to individuals with severe mental illnesses. The ACT Entitlements Specialist helps clients enrolled in Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) teams navigate, secure, and maintain government benefits and financial entitlements. This role can be mobile at times, requiring hands-on advocacy directly in the community.

The ACT Entitlements Specialist works as a centralized or shared resource supporting clients across all seven of the agency's ACT teams. Because clients often face significant barriers to navigating bureaucratic systems independently, this role involves providing coverage across teams and actively accompanying individuals to appointments throughout New York City.
