CUNY Cares Navigator Portal

If you are a CUNY student at Lehman College, Bronx Community College, or Hostos Community College and are looking for help with enrolling in public benefits or learning about available resources, CUNY CARES Navigators can help.

CARES Navigators are fellow CUNY students who have been trained to work with campus resource centers and other departments to ensure all students receive the services needed to succeed at CUNY. 

CARES Navigators specialize in HRA benefits such as SNAP, Fair Fares, and Cash Assistance; and health assistance programs such as NYC CARE. Navigators can also provide direct referrals to campus and community-based resources for help with immigration, housing, career, and mental health services. 

In-person Navigation is offered Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm during the fall and spring semester, while virtual navigation is offered during evenings and weekends.

Questions? Email: caresnavigators@cuny.edu with you name, school email, campus, and EMPLID and a CUNY CARES team member will reach out to you.
