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.

Nonprofit Resources

Brooklyn Org provides holistic support and resources to nonprofits across the borough, from funding to capacity building, and more.
