We are an affordable housing corporation that's been in business for over thirty years. What is our operational mission? The preservation, development and management of affordable housing and homeownership opportunities, community and economic development initiatives and human services that affect social change in central Brooklyn. We strongly believe our Urban Aqua Farms project and the support it gives to our Golden Harvest Client Choice Food Pantry will affect positive social - and healthy! - changes for years to come. 

​

UAF is one of our Community Programs Department's main projects under the focus of Healthy Food and Living and specifically the food justice and food access initiative, Communities for Healthy Food Bed-Stuy. In September we held a wine tasting fundraiser (yummy!) and a lucky group of people from the community were able to sample produce from our gardens and fish grown on aquaponic farms. It was our first step toward raising the $300,000 we need to complete UAF and we hope you will join us on this journey.

This year on #GivingTuesday (11/29), NEBHDCo was active on social media sharing details about the aquaponics farm and retweeting photos and recipes of tasty dishes prepared by our team of Community Chefs. Please tag NEBHDCo (@NEBHDCo on both Twitter and Facebook) in your tweets and posts so we can join in the fun!! Better yet: include some combination of these hashtags #NEBHDCo, #FundBedStuyAqua, #GivingTuesday, and #UrbanAquaFarms and you, too, just might get a mention in our social media shoutouts.
