Employee Highlight
Choncy Corbin
Community Health Worker
“You work for the community, in any aspect they need—food, jobs, housing, resume help—making sure they’re good.” Choncy is a dedicated Community Health Worker who joined RiseBoro after realizing through her involvement with the Red Hook Initiative that helping others could become her profession. Her proudest moments come from the little things, like noticing a community member without a coat in the winter and connecting him to a coat drive to ensure he stayed warm. She truly embodies what it means to serve the community with compassion and purpose.

Serving our Seniors
This holiday season, we proudly served thousands of seniors in our community with hot, delicious meals. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who volunteered and to those who gave their time during the holidays to deliver these meals. Your kindness made the season brighter for so many!
Spotlight in Curbed

This innovative project combines a striking design by Daniel Libeskind with community-focused features, creating 190 new apartments that prioritize dignity, comfort, and connection in the heart of Brooklyn.
