Calendar

UNHP has a history of addressing issues of concern in all these different areas that affect Bronx neighborhoods and affordable housing. And as we thought about our traditional fall fundraiser, we recognized that we did not feel ready to reconvene our annual beer hall event. We are doing a virtual fundraiser again this year and we are going to do a rolling set of This Is What We Do seminars on issues affecting our neighborhoods and affordable housing in support. The “This Is What We Do: UNHP and Mission” series is both our work and our effort to raise funds for that work. If you would like to donate or become a sponsor to support UNHP in our mission to provide services to our community click here. All are welcome to join UNHP in our final This is What We Do event to be held on September 23. The registration link can be found here. Read more about our series in our blog post here. For more information or if you have any questions contact Catherine Clarke at clarke@unhp.org.
