BOROUGH LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE
Located in each of New York City’s boroughs, Borough Leadership Committees serve as Habitat-NYC's vital link to local community and faith leaders. They help select families for the homes, advocate on behalf of housing issues, and coordinate groundbreakings, home dedications and other Habitat-NYC community events.
