 There
are 146 million reasons to open a store on
Southern Boulevard. Here
are just a few...
Problem is, there aren’t enough stores to meet the
needs of all the shoppers. So, if you’re thinking
about opening another store, think about how much
opportunity there is to capture along Southern Boulevard.
Grow or expand your business. Attend the
Business Financing and Resources Event on Thursday, 11/3, from 5 - 7
p.m. Meet the lenders and get one-on-one business planning and
financial assistance.

We assist families with health insurance, public benefits, legal counsel
and financial planning. Social workers provide crisis intervention and
extensive psychological counseling, and offer free fresh food and
groceries through our community Food Pantry.
Home-based childcare
microenterprise
 We
train women to start and grow successful home-based childcare
businesses, providing children with high-quality, safe places to
learn and grow; and allowing parents to seek and maintain
employment. Our newest initiative, the Childcare Improvement
Project provides opportunities for caregivers across NYC to
increase their revenues and create their own home-based childcare
businesses. |

 our
VALUES
WHEDco
replicates the attributes found in prosperous communities – attributes
like safe and healthy homes, professional childcare and extra-curricular
activities, opportunities to develop small businesses, and mental health
counseling – and offers them to low-income families throughout the city.
WHEDco thoroughly coordinates these initiatives, so that each person,
and every family, can benefit from over-lapping, practical, and
sustainable solutions.
WHEDco's neighborhood
revitalization work includes building 'green' energy-saving affordable
homes, helping community members launch socially-responsible
microenterprises, working to create more vibrant commercial corridors,
and engaging youth and adults around education, health and wellness.
We invite you to get
involved.
