Organizational Overview: RiseBoro Community Partnership is a comprehensive agency that serves underserved communities in New York City. Since its inception in 1973, RiseBoro has collaborated with community leaders, government agencies, and private investors to address housing, health, and service needs. Their programs span various areas, including housing, senior services, health care, youth development, education, empowerment, community development, arts programming, skills training, homelessness prevention, and access to healthy foods.

Here are some highlights:

Youth Center: RiseBoro converted 30,000 square feet of vacant land into a youth center, providing local youth and their families with opportunities for skill development, mentorship, and growth.

Senior Services: RiseBoro was designated the first Innovative Senior Center in Brooklyn by the NYC Department for the Aging. Their extensive programming includes health management, physical exercise, and nutritional programs, collaborating with local hospitals and universities.

Affordable Housing : RiseBoro is involved in affordable housing projects, such as the Hunters Point venture, which includes 1,100 apartments and retail/community space. 80% of the units are permanently affordable or earmarked for seniors.
