Bridging Access to Care

City-funded organization

Bridging Access to Care is a Brooklyn nonprofit headquartered on Church Avenue in Flatbush, providing mental health treatment, substance use and harm reduction services, HIV/AIDS care, and supportive housing; it was founded in 1986 as the Brooklyn AIDS Task Force and took its current name in 2012. It holds $17.1 million in active NYC contracts as of August 2026 (4), all with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, part of $46 million awarded since 2012 across 14 contracts with DOHMH and the Department of Youth and Community Development. 48% of contract value ($22 million across 11 contracts) was awarded without a fresh competitive bid, mostly renewals and a negotiated extension of its supportive housing contracts. The organization has also received $2.4 million in City Council discretionary funding since FY2009 (54 awards), largely for its 'Ending the Epidemic' HIV program, most of it steered by Council Member Farah N. Louis ($154,000 since FY2021). Its CEO, Nadine Akinyemi, was paid $237,366 in FY2024, per the organization's IRS Form 990.
