Our Story

HOPE (Housing Organizers for People Empowerment) is a group of tenants in eastern Brooklyn fighting for housing justice in our communities. We believe that housing is a human right and that as tenants, we can come together and organizer for a better world. We started organizing in October 2018 and have grown so much as an organization since then! We’re excited to continue to build tenant power in Eastern Brooklyn.

HOPE is supported by the Organizing and Policy Department of UHAB. Through organizing in buildings, educating tenants, building coalitions, and advocating for progressive policy initiatives, the Organizing and Policy Department of the Urban Homesteading Assistance Board (UHAB) strives to preserve and strengthen the quality of affordable housing in New York City. We are motivated by our belief that tenants must demand a voice in the oversight of their housing, and that it is their inherent right to assert a collective vision about how their homes should look and feel. We work in rent stabilized and government subsidized buildings that have high code violations and/or may be at risk of losing their affordability.
