Housing
Every Brooklynite should have access to affordable and safe housing in the communities they call home
Brooklyn residents live in public housing – more than any other borough
of Brooklyn tenants are rent burdened, with over 30% of their income going to rent
Homeless shelters are located in Brooklyn – the most of any borough across NYC
Our Approach
Having a safe and secure place to live is the foundation Brooklynites need to lead stable lives and be active members in their communities. Brooklyn Org is dedicated to uplifting community-based organizations and coalitions that provide resources to our unhoused neighbors, advocate for tenant rights, and help homeowners stay in their homes.
