How about a BBQ? 🍗🔥 Our Community Action Program (CAP) team put together a gorgeous BBQ for our members in beautiful Prospect Park over the weekend.

Our member leaders are our neighbors and champions. Many have faced homelessness and discrimination, and have joined us at Neighbors Together to use their voices to participate in grassroots organizing to end the unjust policies that uphold hunger and poverty.

Some of these incredible humans have been organizing with us for 17 years! We are grateful for them, their leadership, and for this community.

Today we sent a letter to Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani along with 50+ advocates and service providers: fund NYC Commission on Human Rights at $25M in FY2027.

New York City’s Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) is the agency responsible for investigating housing discrimination complaints and enforcing the city’s human rights laws.

For years, our team and member leaders have been calling for increased funding for CCHR.

This agency is the last line of defense for millions of New Yorkers and they must be protected.

Last week, our Community Action program team and member leaders joined voucher holders and allies on the steps of City Hall to rally against the proposed budget cuts to the City's Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) - the agency responsible for investigating housing discrimination complaints and enforcing the city's human rights laws.

Currently, the proposed City budget would reduce the agency's funding by 6% and eliminate several staff positions, despite ongoing staffing shortages and significant delays in processing discrimination complaints. For New Yorkers using housing vouchers, these cuts could have serious consequences.

For years, our team and member leaders have been calling for increased funding for CCHR. During the rally, our Community Organizer, Nailah Abdul-Mubdi shared her personal story as a voucher holder, and our Director of Organizing and Public Policy Amy Blumsack emphasized that stronger enforcement is needed to ensure voucher holders have protections.

NYC’s Commission on Human Rights investigates landlords and real estate brokers who discriminate against rental voucher holders. The agency is already understaffed, sources

This past weekend our Community Action Program team and member leaders took a field trip to the Museum of the City of New York!

The Museum of the City of New York explores the people, places, and ideas that shape New York’s iconic character.

Members learned about NYC’s history of activism and grassroots organizing, tenant rights, and housing advocacy.

The museum fosters civic pride through experiences that champion New York’s creativity, ambition, and resilience, and our group had a wonderful time learning in community with one another!

Volunteer Spotlight: Mid-Bedford Heights Lion’s Club

For years, we have welcomed the joyful Mid-Bedford Heights Lion’s Club as volunteers in our Community Cafe.

This week, the Lion’s Club also generously donated to our work, and we are grateful for outstanding partnerships like these that help us further our mission.

Volunteers like the Lion’s Club are the reason we’re able to continue to serve thousands of our low-income neighbors every week -ensuring our neighbors are met with dignity and care.
