We Build Community Power
South Bronx Unite brings together neighborhood residents, community organizations, academic institutions, and allies to improve and protect the social, environmental, and economic future of Mott Haven and Port Morris.
From the fight for more green space and waterfront access to initiatives to bring the community together, see our major projects that are the cornerstone of our work.
The Land Stewards
The Mott Haven-Port Morris Community Land Stewards is our community land trust. Through The Land Stewards, neighbors come together to take land off the speculative real estate market and put it in the hands of the people who live here.
We create gardens, green spaces, and the community hubs our people need.
The Waterfront Plan
We live on a peninsula, but we’ve been barbed-wire fenced off from our own water.
Our vision for the Mott Haven-Port Morris waterfront provides access, green space, and flood protection.
The HEArts Center
We’re building a center designed by the community, for the community. It will provide holistic health, education, and the arts (HEArts) for South Bronx residents.
This will create a cycle of opportunity instead of a cycle of harm.
The Clean Air Program
1 in 5 children in the South Bronx has asthma, caused by an assault of industrial pollution, highways, and lack of green space.
With our clean air program, we’re fighting back.
The Local Action Committee
Our strength has always come from organizing together.
The Local Action Committee turns decades of community action into a permanent space for education, strategy, and power-building.
Green Space Program
Mott Haven and Port Morris share a single park between ~60,000 residents, many of whom live too far away to use it.
We advocate for more parks, gardens, and green spaces, accessible to everyone.
