TODAY’S BUZZ:
OPEN Impact Real Estate, a Woman/Minority-owned firm specializing in serving nonprofits, is representing Graham Windham, a family and youth success agency founded by Isabella Graham and Eliza Hamilton more than 200 years ago, in a new 15,000-square-foot program hub in downtown Brooklyn. The new location is being completely renovated to create a modern, open and welcoming atmosphere for staff, youth and families, including touch-down space for citywide employees, video-enabled remote work strategies, and programs specifically designed to service local and borough-wide communities.
City Harvest’s Repack To Give Back campaign raised enough to help the organization feed more than 545,000 New York City families in need. The annual campaign engaged thousands of corporate employees across 45 companies through virtual and in-person volunteering and fundraising.
The Center for Court Innovation released a fact sheet addressing the repair crisis in the New York City Housing Authority and the need for housing justice.
