The Cradle in Bedford-Stuyvesant: A Systems Of Care Initiative THE CRADLE is governed by a Steering Committee representing a diverse mix of community stakeholders. A staff of seasoned professionals are responsible for overseeing the project’s activities. The CRADLE is also connected to two larger initiatives that coordinate services in Bedford-Stuyvesant: the Administration for Children’s Services’ (ACS) Community Partnership Initiative and the Mayor’s One City/One Community Initiative.

“The CRADLE network meeting fosters a sense of community, increases agency awareness of new and existing services, provides a forum for providers to discuss case management strategies and best practices, thus promoting a higher quality of care through client sharing, service coordination, technical support and reducing duplication.”
