Early Childhood Education
BHC has long recognized the vital role of high quality early education to support positive outcomes for underserved children and their families, including the formerly homeless, those living near or below the federal poverty line and new immigrants with limited or no English language skills.

Art
BHC has supported the arts for more than two decades. The Rio I, II, & III Galleries have provided a space for local artists, musicians, writers, storytellers, activists as they promote the cultural capital and legacy of our community. Since 2015, the Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling has offered our culturally rich neighborhood with a space where children and their families grow and learn about Sugar Hill, and about the world at large, through intergenerational dialogue with artists, art and storytelling.
“Homelessness reveals a gaping schism in the principle of justice in New York City where we certainly have the expertise and resources to fulfill the right of people to housing.”
