GIVING TUESDAY OPPORTUNITY: https://www.chinyc.org/donate

We’re introducing a new housing model to NYC.

It’s called an Inclusion Micro Community, or IMC
(think “I’M COMMUNITY”)

We are focusing on a multi-phase process which we expect will take approximately 5 years.

In our first phase, we are connecting with housing experts, refining our search for a development partner, applying for a land trust, and writing grant applications for low income and supportive housing. We also need your help to bring this new model to NYC! Please donate and help us launch NYC's first IMC.

We will not stay silent. We need a new approach to “supporting” our most vulnerable citizens and families. Do not judge the parents. Their only flaw was trust. We must do better.
