Background Incorporated since 1982, NHS’ efforts have resulted in the assistance of nearly 100,000 residents, the rehabilitation of 6,000 housing units and the stimulation of over $950 million in public and private investment. Our in-house architects and rehabilitation specialist have made 23,000 home inspections and conducted over 1,500 home repair workshops. Over the past six years, NHS’ HomeBuyers’ Clubs and One-on-One counseling programs have helped prepare residents for homeownership and as a result, NHS has packaged and submitted first-mortgage loans that closed for $175 million. NHS’ Citywide office, our eight neighborhood-based programs and The NHS Homeownership Center provide residents with the opportunity and skills to rebuild and strengthen their neighborhoods. NHS targets traditionally underserved, minority neighborhoods such as Harlem and The Lower East Side in Manhattan; Bedford-Stuyvesant, East New York, East Flatbush, Red Hook and Erasmus in Brooklyn; West Brighton in Staten Island; The South Bronx; The North Bronx; and Jamaica, South Ozone Park, Richmond Hill, Woodside, Long Island City, Jackson Heights, the Coronas and Elmhurst in Queens.
Mission NHS of NYC revitalizes underserved neighborhoods by creating and preserving affordable housing and providing opportunities for homeownership education, financial assistance and community leadership. Working in partnership with government and business, we are led by local residents and guided by local needs.
