Churches United for Fair Housing is an organization of people of faith and congregations who are responsive to the affordable housing, jobs and open space needs of North Brooklyn. We are motivated by the desire for every family and person to live in dignity. Since the waterfront rezoning we have advocated for other projects throughout North Brooklyn and we continue to be an effective vehicle to ensure that housing, as well as new job opportunities come to the community. We have found that the old adage is true, ‘there is strength in numbers’, and that strength is even greater when the Spirit of God is our rock.
