Community Health Action of Staten Island

What Community Health Action of Staten Island does

Community Health Action of Staten Island (CHASI), founded in 1988 and headquartered on Staten Island, is a private 501(c)-style nonprofit that delivers free behavioral health, social support, and preventive health services to Staten Island residents. Service lines span community access (storefront and mobile food pantry across 30 neighborhoods, SNAP and health insurance enrollment), prevention and health equity (HIV, STI, and hepatitis testing; PrEP/PEP; health screenings), behavioral health and harm reduction (Next Step Resource & Recovery Center, substance use counseling, relapse prevention), care management and care coordination, LGBTQIA+ affirming care, domestic violence intervention, and alternatives to incarceration case management.

The underlying operating stack is a set of community health information systems and client management platforms supporting care coordination across six fixed Staten Island locations and a mobile fleet. Public-facing tooling is conventional nonprofit infrastructure: a WordPress website with the Events Calendar plugin, iCalendar/Google/Outlook 365 event subscriptions, and Fundraise Up for online donations. There are no proprietary AI, data, or model assets; no patents, no mobile apps, and no published SDKs or APIs.

CHASI earns no revenue from clients — all services are free at point of delivery. Operating funding comes from Medicaid (including billings through the Staten Island Performing Provider System Social Care Network), state and federal grants, and donations/galas. The organization is a member of the Sun River Health Network, giving clients sliding-fee-scale access to primary, dental, behavioral, and pediatric care, and participates in the Playsure Network for sexual health referrals. Customer concentration therefore sits with government payors rather than individual clients, with diversified grant and donor funding layering in additional support.
