Our Community
Where everyone can thrive.
Welcome to a place where our kids make future plans beyond our wildest dreams. Where elders join together to talk and learn and laugh. Welcome to a community where everyone gets the care they need. Where visitors marvel at what we’ve made happen—and we tell them we’re just getting started.
Tell us about you. We’ll help find the best services for you.
Our History
Serving Brooklyn and beyond for 50 years.
Since we started offering services to seniors in Bushwick 50 years ago, we’ve expanded into a holistic community partnership serving people of all ages.
Empowering Brooklyn’s Youth
RiseBoro Converts 30,000 Square Feet of Vacant Land to Youth Center
The center provides local youth and their families with the opportunity to develop new skills, talents and interests, form positive attachments with adult mentors, and have a positive space for continued growth.
Serving Brooklyn’s Seniors
RiseBoro Designated First Innovative Senior Center in Brooklyn
RiseBoro was awarded the first Innovative Senior Center in Brooklyn by the NYC Department for the Aging (DFTA). The program recognized for its programming that already offered an extensive calendar of Health Management, Physical Exercise and Nutritional Programs, coordinating with many local hospitals and universities.
Caring for NYC’s Tenants
RiseBoro Breaks Ground on Hunters Point Affordable Housing Project
The $500 million venture with Gotham Organization and RiseBoro Community Partnership Inc. includes 1,100 apartments and approximately 40,000 square feet of retail and community facility space. 80% of units will be permanently affordable apartments or earmarked for seniors.
