Join us for our 2017 Bronx Beer Hall Fundraiser on Wednesday evening, September 13th, 2017 at the Bronx Beer Hall, located in the historic Arthur Avenue Retail Market.
We have much to celebrate this year and hope that you will join us to raise a glass – our specially imprinted UNHP beer glass – of course. The Bronx Beer Hall offers local craft brewed beers, a retail market setting, and a variety of gourmet pizza.
The Bronx Beer Hall is located in the Arthur Avenue Retail Market, between 186th Street and Crescent Avenue. There is a municipal lot across the street on Arthur Avenue and metered parking. The Metro North stop at Fordham Road is the closest walking distance to the beer hall. The D train to Fordham Road is a short cab ride away or a 10 block walk.
Attendees will get a 2017 UNHP Bronx Beer Hall beer glass etched with Sponsor names, one free drink (Bronx brewed craft beers – a specialty!), handmade gelato and a variety of Chef Roberto's gourmet pizza. Cash, check or credit accepted at the door.

The Bronx is the new Brooklyn - a threat, good news, or ridiculous?
Over the years, UNHP has contributed to the conversation about what’s actually happening in the Bronx—in particular the Northwest Bronx—and informed the discussion by sharing the experiences of local groups as well as data and analysis. We have been doing just that in our new blog series Views From the Northwest Bronx since February. The posts have covered changes in community development, Bronx demographics, multifamily housing sales, and the impact of city housing policy and private investment in the borough. We will conclude with the June 15 ViewsNWBX Affordable Housing Forum designed to highlight some of these important perspectives.
Join us for the ViewsNWBX Affordable Housing Forum, a Bronx-based panel discussion on the range of housing and demographic topics covered in our recent Views from the Northwest Bronx blog series.
Breakfast - 8:30am
Presentation & Discussion - 9:00am
Moderator: Roger Hayes, UNHP Board member
