How are we revitalizing community spaces?
We’re revitalizing the shared spaces New Yorkers rely on every day. Through volunteer‑powered projects at community centers, schools, parks, and senior spaces, we support neighborhoods that often have limited resources for upkeep but strong need for welcoming, well‑maintained environments. Volunteers take on a range of light‑repairs—painting, landscaping, repairs, clean‑ups, and other upgrades—that help restore beauty and strengthen community connection. It’s an accessible, hands-on way for groups and individuals to make a real difference across our partner neighborhoods, keeping these spaces vibrant and welcoming for everyone who calls it home.

We would like to extend a huge heartfelt thank you to Habitat NYC and Westchester and all the volunteers for the excellent work you did! The space looks modern and appropriate for all age groups that use the center. The quality of work was excellent and the space was turned back to us in a pristine state. We are so impressed with how Habitat transformed the Jacob Riis Cornerstone program and enlivened some of the rooms and stairs at the Boys and Girls Republic.
