BHIPs anti- displacement work is grounded in a commitment to maintaining the social and cultural fabric of Bushwick, not just preserving individual homes but also history, culture and community networks- the fabric of the neighborhood. Tenant Education and Empowerment - BHIP hosts monthly tenant rights workshops and legal clinics for renters in Bushwick and greater Brooklyn. These sessions cover key topics such as requesting and enforcing repairs, filing complaints through DHCR administrative proceedings, and navigating housing court. BHIP also collaborates with JustFix, a housing data nonprofit, to support the development of digital tools through user testing, community feedback sessions, and training with BHIP members. 44197 Counseling and Direct Services: BHIP provides direct outreach, housing rights information, referrals, and support to tenants experiencing housing-related issues. This includes accompaniment and assistance for tenants during housing court proceedings, as well as help understanding lease agreements and responding to notices. 9822 Leadership Development: BHIP offers leadership development programs for tenants organizing around housing justice. In 2025, BHIP launched a leadership cohort for four tenants seeking to deepen their knowledge and skills in tenant organizing, of which two tenants will move into BHIP's upcoming Senior Leadership team. Cohort members participate in monthly training sessions, peer learning circles, and one-on-one coaching. The program emphasizes education in housing rights, community engagement strategies, and collaborative problem-solving. 44197 98216 Sadia Rahman President 5.00 0 Michael Grinthal Vice President 5.00 0 Jennifer Akchin Treasurer 5.00 0 Teresa Basilio Gaztambide Secretary 5.00 0 Raquel Namuche board member 1.00 0 Kery Espino board member 1.00 0 Cynthia Tobar President 5.00 0 Catherine Barreda board member 1.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false NY Jennifer Akchin 1420 BUSHWICK AVE STE 233 BROOKLYN NY 11207 7185743007 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 88725 88725 0 0 0 0 88725 88725 0 0 88725 756 756 0 756 756 0 0 89481 89481 X 0.00000 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $1081 Other Expenses.1005 Travel $587 Other Expenses.1007 Conferences, Conventions, and Meetings $2373 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $881 Other Expenses.1 Payroll service fees $451 Other Expenses.2 dues and fees $367 Other Expenses.3 Marketing $307 Other Expenses.4 Information techonology $295 Other Expenses.5 Bank Fees $95 Other Expenses.6 Donation $59 Other Assets.1005 Accounts Receivable - Beginning $0 Accounts Receivable - Ending $64500 Total Liabilities.1001 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Beginning $0 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Ending $1113
