Working with people to build better Communities.

For over three decades, The Parodneck Foundation for Self-Help Housing and Community Development has played a pivotal role in providing financial, technical and organizing assistance to New York City’s self-help housing and community development efforts. The mission of the Foundation, a city-wide, tax- exempt, not-for-profit agency, is to provide low and moderate-income residents with resources and capabilities that will enable them to create, own, and/or manage their own housing and improve their neighborhoods. Since 1970, the Foundation has helped tens of thousands of low and moderate income households obtain and preserve decent, safe, affordable housing and has provided crucial support to many important planning and community development projects.
