“If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
MHHDC’s work is rooted in the life of our neighborhood. We have achieved traction and continue to advocate for sensible approaches to neighborhood development through long-term relationships with our community members and organizations throughout the city. These affiliations propel our reach and impacts.
Following are Partners, Resources, and Press links related to our unique corner of New York City and our ongoing efforts to protect it.
