2024 Annual Appeal
Housing + Education + Art
BHC seeks to actively engage and support the community we serve through a unique supportive model blending stable affordable housing, access to the arts, and early childhood education programs.
Supportive Housing
High quality permanent housing is key to tapping the virtues of sustained, thriving community for children, families and single adults
Early Childhood Education
BHC has long recognized the vital role of high quality early education to support positive outcomes for underserved children and their families, including the formerly homeless, those living near or below the federal poverty line and new immigrants with limited or no English language skills.
Art
BHC has supported the arts for more than two decades. The Rio I, II, & III Galleries have provided a space for local artists, musicians, writers, storytellers, activists as they promote the cultural capital and legacy of our community. Since 2015, the Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling has offered our culturally rich neighborhood with a space where children and their families grow and learn about Sugar Hill, and about the world at large, through intergenerational dialogue with artists, art and storytelling.
“Homelessness reveals a gaping schism in the principle of justice in New York City where we certainly have the expertise and resources to fulfill the right of people to housing.”
