This Is What We Do: UNHP & Mission - A Series of Virtual Events and Annual Fundraiser

View the What We Do Event Finale here.

“This is What We Do” is a series of events that illustrate the unique ways that UNHP works towards its affordable housing and Bronx community service mission as well as an effort to raise funds for that work through sponsorships and donations. As a community-based housing developer, Bronx-focused researcher, and direct services provider, UNHP uses Research and Action, Community Development, and Direct Service to create and preserve affordable housing and bring resources to our Bronx community. It has been over a year since the pandemic hit the Bronx early and hard. The destabilizing and devastating consequences are unfolding in our community and on affordable multifamily housing in NYC. UNHP continues to be a trusted resource for Bronx residents through our outreach and direct service work at Northwest Bronx Resource Center. Our research and action initiatives have provided timely and relevant information to lenders, policymakers, and affordable housing owners. We invite you to read further to check out our What We Do events, read about their results, and sponsor or donate to the series. You can also register for the event finale on September 23rd at 4 pm.

How can you support UNHP in What We Do as a Sponsor or Community Level Donor?

UNHP is requesting your support as a sponsor or donor for this series of events. While sponsors can no longer be listed on our pint glass, they will be recognized on our website, social media, and at the final presentation. Your support in turn helps us to do What We Do. The names of sponsors will be etched onto a custom-designed pint glass, displayed on our website, listed on our program finale, and in the electronic program. Checks made out to UNHP are preferred for sponsorships, and credit card payment for an additional processing fee and a sponsorship form are available on our DONATE page.

For those that know UNHP and our dedication to Water and Sewer Rate reform, it will come as no surprise that the first event in our What We Do series was a virtual Water and Sewer Online Seminar. While we like to joke about our obsession with water and sewer rates - it is really no joke to affordable rental housing - as these costs can eclipse the yearly cost of heating for a building. The May 27th Seminar had over 40 participants primarily, affordable housing owners, managers, and lenders.
