The Patterns of ACCESS NYC are a shared vocabulary between the code, design, and user interface (UI) of ACCESS NYC created for the Mayor’s Office for Economic Opportunity (NYC Opportunity) Service Design Studio and Product Teams. ACCESS NYC aims to increase the accessibility and convenience of discovering and enrolling in government benefits. The Patterns support this work by defining the UI and behavior that New Yorkers experience as they use the site.

As of January 3rd, 2023 the ACCESS NYC Pattern library package is deprecated in favor of the NYC Opportunity Standard which contains updated user interface elements and usability guidance.

To install, run:

npm install @nycopportunity/access-patterns
