HDC works with a constituency of over 500 neighborhood-based organizations to create an educated, active community of preservationists engaged in protecting and enhancing New York City’s irreplaceable built and cultural heritage.
Working through our Neighborhood Partners program, HDC engages in community building and development, offers educational programs and delivers technical resources, strategic assistance and direct advocacy support to aid local groups in their individual preservation campaigns.
HDC also provides a citywide context and understanding for local concerns, which is pivotal to the creation of a cohesive and engaged alliance of supporters and activists. This process also helps community groups learn from strategies and tactics that have proved successful elsewhere in the city that can be replicated in their own area.
