 Honoring Our Founding Members

 

Neighborhood Housing Services of Jamaica , Inc. founding members Jo Golden, Fern Hurst, and Lois Phillips honored at the 2007 NHS of New York  City Gala.

 

A group of Baisley Park residents, enlisted the help of several banks and city representatives to begin a non-profit housing group modeled after the NHS of Pittsburgh. By 1974, the Baisley Park team had grown into “NHS of Jamaica, Inc.”, the first NHS in New York City, and the third in third in the country.

 NHSJ NeighborWorks Week 2007

 

On June 2, 2007 NHSJ celebrated National NeighborWorks® Week by participating in a special home maintenance project for a local senior citizen.  This  project offered Ms. Tyson a senior homeowner, the opportunity to receive FREE home repair services from NHSJ in partnership with Citibank and Harris & Harris Professionals Contractors, who came out as volunteers to participate in the clean-up and beautification– project.  Some of the repairs that were completed included landscaping and yard clean-up, scraping and painting fences, removing shrubbery, planting flowers, making repairs to steps/stoops, and other minor work. In addition, Ms Tyson will get a complete new kitchen.
