With a major grant from the Brooklyn Community Foundation and its assistance with government agencies, Habitat NYC  crafted a multi-family model and now has become the largest producer of Habitat homes in the Northeast; it is also the first one to acquire government–owned land. 

Habitat has recently constructed an unprecedented project: a LEED-certified 41 unit condominium in Bedford Stuyvesant to provide affordable, green housing to low-income Brooklynites  and 16 two and three bedroom condominiums on four different sites in central Brooklyn. Thousands of volunteers--including the project's residents-- have helped make these projects possible.    

The Brooklyn Community Foundation Community Development Fund supports programs which encourage thoughtful planning so that Brooklyn neighborhoods have the stability they need to succeed.
