About Broadway Housing Communities (BHC)
Broadway Housing Communities (BHC) believes equitable access to housing, education and the arts builds healthy communities. For over 40 years, our community-based housing model has generated meaningful change and sustainable pathways out of poverty for adults, children and families in West Harlem and Washington Heights.
BHC’s innovative model supplements the best practices of supportive housing for homeless adults with enriched and intensive educational resources for resident children and their parents/guardians. Overtime, BHC has developed seven, and continues to own and manage five, deeply affordable and supportive residential properties with over 300 residents; onsite tuition-free high-quality preschools serving 120 children and families; three community art galleries; and a cultural institution, the Sugar Hill Children's Museum of Art & Storytelling. These efforts provide a comprehensive and innovative housing-based approach to redressing poverty through stable affordable housing for individuals and families, access to the arts, and early childhood education, which has served as a replicable national and world wide model.
