BronxWorks was excited to join L+M Development and others at the groundbreaking for the first phase of Bronx Point last week. Bronx Point will provide 542 units of permanent affordable housing to the Lower Concourse neighborhood in addition to the permanent home of the Universal Hip Hop Museum. Hip Hop Legends Grandmaster Flash, LL Cool J, Chuck D, Fat Joe and others joined for the ceremony. BronxWorks will be providing social services at Bronx Point when it is opened in 2024.
The BronxWorks 2021 Building Better Futures Gala was held Wednesday, May 19.
