Client Resource Library
This Client Resource Library was compiled by current MSW student Rachel Bell (MSW ‘26) with the intent to serve as a non-comprehensive guide to free and low-cost resources in New York City. Students and community members can use this guide with approval from their practicum placements to assist clients and as a tool for education about NYC resources. Practicum placements and individuals can share their own resources to be added. All entries are vetted to ensure that they are up-to-date and reliable, however it is also recommended that students verify information independently before use. If you have a correction or an update, or if you have a resource or resource list to add to the guide, please fill out this CRL form.
** Note on Inclusion and Accessibility: Our events and initiatives are open to all backgrounds and identities. It is a priority to make our events inclusive and accessible. For any questions or to notify us of a request, please email silver.inclusivestudentlife@nyu.edu at least 72 hours before the event.**Follow NYU Silver on LinkedIn to keep up on events, student and alumni achievements, research breakthroughs, networking opportunities to boost your future and more!
