LAND STEWARDSHIP FOR COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT IN MOTT HAVEN AND PORT MORRIS

WE RECLAIM LAND FOR COMMUNITY BENEFIT, ENSURING LONG-TERM STEWARDSHIP AND EQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOUTH BRONX

PROJECTS

THE HEARTS CENTER

For over a decade, our community has envisioned transforming this long-vacant building into the HEArts Center—a space dedicated to holistic health, education, and the arts, grounded in community-led social justice and healing. 

We are now making that dream a reality.

THE MOTT HAVEN PORT MORRIS WATERFRONT PLAN

The Mott Haven-Port Morris Waterfront Plan is a transformative community-led initiative to provide community access to a public waterfront that has been inaccessible for decades. Recognized as a New York State Priority Project in 2016 and included in the NYC Parks Department's Harlem River Watershed and Natural Resources Management Plan for the Bronx, this project is a testament to over a decade of community advocacy. Led by the Mott Haven-Port Morris Community Land Stewards, the plan represents a collective effort to reclaim and steward the waterfront.
