Views from the Northwest Bronx

New partnerships to improve distressed multifamily housing, the opening of a credit union in the Bronx, and the renovation and repositioning of Rose Hill Apartments, an affordable housing project for low-income senior citizens are among the year’s major highlights. The pinnacle moment of 2024 came in December as UNHP was named Nonprofit of the Year by the New York Housing Conference!

Get ready Bronxites! The Bronx People’s Federal Credit Union Branch is open for business at its new brick-and-mortar location.

It is a busy time at Rose Hill Apartments, the 119-unit low-income senior citizen affordable housing complex adjacent to Fordham University in the Bronx. New windows, and brick pointing is all part of a larger renovation and financial repositioning initiative that will ensure Rose Hill continues to provide decent, affordable, and energy-resilient homes for its senior residents in the years to come.

Connecting community residents with the resources, information, and support to build economic and housing stability is the goal of the Northwest Bronx Resource Center – a goal that we achieve with the ongoing support of our many partners.

A new initiative, The Bronx Housing Research Network, has been working to deliver UNHP’s community development experience, multifamily housing data, and technical assistance on the grassroots level to NYC groups as well as a growing national housing movement.
