For Individuals
Hudson Valley Care Coalition connects individuals and families to the care and services they need to live healthier, more stable lives—right in their own communities. Whether you’re looking for help with housing, food, transportation, or navigating the healthcare system, we’re here to make it easier.
Eligible Medicaid members may qualify for free support in the following key social need areas:
Assistance with needs, making referrals, and tracking services
Access to healthy meals, food pantries, and nutritional counseling
Help locating, securing, or maintaining safe, stable housing
Coordination of non-medical transportation to facilitate services
Any Medicaid member is eligible for screening by one of our provider partners or by completing a self-screener online. Medicaid Managed Care Members with certain health conditions and social needs may be eligible for one-time or temporary services as part of the Social Care Network program, in addition to existing benefits and services already available in the community. Find additional details on eligibility in our FAQs below.
The self-screening form is simple and confidential. Once submitted, you will receive a call from one of our partner screening organizations within 5 business days.
Even if you don’t meet all the criteria, you may still be connected to similar services through other state, federal, or local programs. A quick, free screening will help determine the best options for you.

Participating in both programs won’t affect your Health Home enrollment or your Medicaid coverage.
