COMMUNITY
MHANY isn’t just in the business of bringing buildings to neighborhoods, we also strive to become a part of existing communities by helping to reinforce a sense of trust, safety and belonging. Community is both a feeling and a set of relationships. One of the things that has been a part of the fabric of MHANY since the beginning is our commitment to building communities, not just housing. We do that in many ways, including by connecting our residents to a wide array of resources, most recently around the pandemic, providing financial counseling, and connecting residents to organizing efforts that affect them and their neighbors.
MHANY Management is creating a Reading Heroes program for children to encourage reading and literacy from an early age. Adults, including residents and community partners, will read to children and maintain a reading space in building community areas. learn more
In the fall of 2020, we initiated a new program for our residents - community libraries. Partnering with a local non-profit, Brooklyn Book Bodega, we created a pilot library program in the community room of our building at 1825 Atlantic Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. learn more
The last year+, dealing with the pandemic has been extraordinarily trying for our city. Now that there are several vaccines on the horizon, things are looking up. MHANY has been working hard to keep you up to date with the latest information about Covid-19 from NYC. learn more
