Did we say we weren't reopening until January 30th? While that sounds like a lovely vacation, we have too many plans for the BHA in 2025 to be gone that long! So in correction: our office will be closed from Monday, December 23rd through Friday, December 27th. We will respond to emails and voicemails when we reopen on Monday, December 30th. Happy Holidays!

Applications are now open to join your local community board.  Per Borough President Antonio Reynoso, "Community boards are the grassroots of our local government" and work across city agencies, elected officials and local leaders to be sure the perspectives of the people who live and work in that community are incorporated into the decisions that will affect them, including housing development, public transit and sanitation.

 If you’re an NYC resident aged 16 or older, you can apply to join a Community Board now through February 14, 2025.

The new STEM Center opened at our very own branch of the Brooklyn Public Library system. NYC FIRST is partnering with School District 13 schools to deliver STEM programming to K-12 students, with a particular focus on 4th and 6th graders.

Thanks to significant support by District 13 Superintendent Meghan Dunn, former Council Member Steve Levin, and current Council Member Lincoln Rester, the center will be a great asset for all K-12 students, with a particular focus on students at PS 54 and PS 307, who will receive robotics kits as part of the District 33 School Equity Initiative.
