“As women we need to make sure we understand the plights of our fellow women and do something to prevent additional women from facing those challenges. I personally was unaware of a number of issues women in NYC face and am shocked and moved each time I hear grantee speakers present their causes and ideas.”

Center for New York City Neighborhoods
The Center for New York City Neighborhoods (CNYCN) coordinates and expands services to New York City residents at risk of losing their homes to foreclosure. CNYCN’s special initiatives serve as national models for comprehensive and coordinated outreach in other municipalities confronting the subprime lending and foreclosure crisis. The Neighborhood Improvement Project creates jobs for public assistance recipients (the majority of whom are women) within neighborhood cleaning projects that support low income areas hard hit by the foreclosure crisis. Through the provision of cleaning, repair and beautification services, CNYCN helps homeowners to maintain their hard investments, preserve their communities, and move women into retail jobs.
