Bronx Neighborhood Housing Services CDC Inc. is on a mission to support efforts to create a thriving, resilient Borough by 2030. Through collaboration we have embarked on a two pronged strategy. Affordable Housing along with Health and Wellness.

​

1. Affordable Housing Initiatives:

• Work with local government and organizations to increase the availability of affordable housing in the Bronx.

• Advocate for policies that promote affordable housing development and preservation.

• Provide financial assistance and resources to low-income residents to help them secure and maintain affordable housing.

2. Health and Wellness Programs:

• Collaborate with local healthcare providers and community organizations to offer health and wellness programs, such as nutrition education, exercise classes, and mental health support services.

• Promote access to healthcare services by organizing health fairs, mobile clinics, and outreach programs.

• Support initiatives to address food insecurity and promote healthy eating options in the community.

3. Community Engagement and Education:

• Organize community forums and workshops to educate residents about their housing rights, healthcare options, and wellness resources.

• Empower residents to advocate for their needs and participate in decision-making processes related to housing, health, and wellness.

• Foster partnerships with local businesses and organizations to create job opportunities and economic empowerment for residents.

4. Infrastructure and Environmental Improvements:

• Advocate for improvements in infrastructure, such as parks, recreational facilities, and green spaces, to promote physical activity and community engagement.

• Support initiatives to address environmental issues that impact health, such as air quality, lead exposure, and access to clean water.

5. Data Collection and Evaluation:

• Establish a system for collecting data on housing, health, and wellness indicators to track progress and identify areas for improvement.

• Use data to inform decision-making and resource allocation, ensuring that initiatives are

• targeted and effective.

6. Collaboration and Partnerships:

• Seek funding opportunities and grants to support housing, health, and wellness initiatives in the Bronx.

We have implemented these strategies, and we are working towards uplifting housing, health,
