Building a strong, sustainable Cypress Hills and East New York, where youth and adults achieve educational and economic success, secure healthy and affordable housing and develop leadership skills to transform their lives and community.

A donation to CHLDC makes a real difference in the lives of Cypress Hills' children and families. In order to fulfill our mission, we develop affordable housing and provide programs including ESOL and high school equivalency classes, college access and persistence counseling, housing counseling, job readiness training and placement, community organizing, green and sustainability efforts, and after-school programs. Together, our programs strengthen the area's physical and economic infrastructure, provide quality educational and social services, and foster local leaders.

With your gift, you are a part of these efforts.
