What Acacia Network does

Acacia Network is a nonprofit human services organization founded in 1969, headquartered in the Bronx, New York, and operating as a network of 100+ affiliates across seven U.S. states and territories (New York, Maryland, Tennessee, Arkansas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Puerto Rico). It is the largest Hispanic-led nonprofit in New York State and serves over 150,000 individuals annually through an integrated, bilingual, and trauma-informed model spanning primary care (multiple Federally Qualified Health Centers), behavioral health (Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics), addiction services (residential, outpatient, and detox), Health Home care coordination, affordable and supportive housing (1,800+ units), transitional housing for the homeless, early childhood education, workforce development, older-adult services, and arts and cultural programming.

The underlying "platform" is operational rather than technological: shared intake, cross-affiliate referrals, and co-located service delivery that lets a client move between healthcare, housing, and social services without re-establishing eligibility. Designated regulatory vehicles include FQHCs, CCBHCs, LIHTC-financed housing developments, a Skilled Nursing Facility, and Head Start programs, all of which create durable but grant-dependent revenue streams.

The organization is funded primarily through government contracts and grants (HUD, NYC HPD, NYS DHCR, NYS HFA, NYC DOHMH, NYS OTDA, and federal LIHTC programs), Medicaid and insurance billing (including HealthFirst partnership and Health Home care coordination), rental income from the affordable housing portfolio, and fees for workforce, childcare, and senior services. President Raul Russi has led the organization since 2002 and oversaw the 2009 affiliation with Promesa Inc. that created the modern Acacia Network.
