RiseBoro Community Partnership

RiseBoro Community Partnership is redefining New York City for New Yorkers. Since 1973, we’ve offered services designed to support every generation and meet the needs of communities. Our unique model of holistic community revitalization works by developing neighborhood assets, like affordable housing, to create the foundation for a more vibrant and diverse community.

Our emphasis on sustainable building methods and energy-efficient technologies improves tenant quality of life and reduces utility costs, all while benefitting our planet. RiseBoro is committed to developing affordable housing projects that meet rigorous Passive House standards for energy efficiency and was responsible for the development of the first 100% affordable multi-family passive house in the country, Mennonite United.

Riseboro Community Partnership received a 2023 Better Project Award for designing an affordable senior housing facility to the Passive House Standard.
