NAICA's Immigrant Resource Program brought together community partners and members for a powerful Community Roundtable in The Bronx. 🤝 We were honored to welcome an insightful presentation from @documented.ny , an independent nonprofit newsroom dedicated to reporting with and for immigrant communities in New York City. The roundtable sparked meaningful conversation, important questions, and great ideas that will continue to shape our work moving forward. Thank you to everyone who joined us and to our NAICA team for making this happen. This is community in action. 💙 Support the work & be part of the change 👉 naicany.org/donate #NAICA1974 #ImmigrantRights #ImmigrantCommunity

Every family and individual deserves stable housing, opportunity, and the support to thrive.💙 As we look ahead to NAICA’s 52nd Annual Benefit Gala, we’re reflecting on more than five decades of transforming challenges into opportunities and strengthening New York City communities. What began in 1974 as neighbors coming together in a time of crisis has grown into one of New York City’s trusted community-based organizations—providing housing, support, and pathways toward greater stability for individuals and families across our city. On October 1, we’ll honor that legacy while looking ahead to the next chapter of NAICA’s impact. Join us and be part of what comes next. 🎟️ 52nd Annual Benefit Gala: naicany.org/gala2026 💙 Support our work: naicany.org/donate #NAICA1974 #CommunityImpact #HousingJustice
What a day!🌞 NAICA's 2026 Health & Resource Fair brought our community together for a beautiful Saturday filled with health screenings, fitness activities, acupuncture, bicycle giveaways, cotton candy, food, music, face painting, activities for children, and so much more. This is what a NAICA community looks like. 💙 A heartfelt thank you to the Healthcare Education Project for making this event possible, our sponsoring partners Affinity by Molina, UnitedHealthcare, Pure Gym, MetroPlus, and A Healer's Touch, the Community Affairs Unit at the 44th Precinct for their support in this event, and every organization and individual that came out to share their resources and be part of this moment.

Last night, we celebrated a milestone well earned. 🏆 NAICA was proud to stand alongside our Chief Operating Officer, Richard Izquierdo Arroyo, as he was recognized at the Schneps Media 2026 Bronx Power List Gala, an evening honoring the leaders shaping the future of our borough. From his roots in Mott Haven to founding charter schools, to leading NAICA's work serving thousands of homeless New Yorkers each year, Richard's career has been defined by an unwavering commitment to community. This recognition is not just a reflection of his leadership. It is a reflection of every family served, every barrier broken, and every life transformed through his dedication. We are proud and honored to have his vision and heart guiding our mission every day. Congratulations, Richard. 💙 #BronxPowerList #SchnepsMedia #NAICA1974 #BronxStrong #nonprofitleadership
