Vote for UNHP!
Happy New Year!
UNHP, Fordham Bedford Community Services, and Fordham Bedford Housing Corporation have each applied for a $75,000 grant from Flourishing in Community – an EPA grant administered by Fordham University. There will be multiple grants issued. Vote once for up to 10 projects by January 10th.
UNHP and FBHC are looking to support our efforts to install solar panels and explore ways to reduce carbon emissions in our affordable multifamily properties. FBCS is looking to restore three neighborhood parks to provide safe green spaces for neighborhood programs and community residents.
As part of the process, FIC is looking to measure community support. It’s a little tricky to get on the site – but give it a try! And if you know of another group who has applied please let me know their ID number.
