New Yorkers have lived through a lot of challenges these past two years, reminding us more than ever that we have to help one another out. So here’s a story of hope and resilience. I met six inspiring individuals who have moved into Edwin’s Place, a new building of affordable and supportive housing designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects in Brownsville, Brooklyn (the neighborhood where our new mayor grew up). We need more of our brilliant design talent to partner with nonprofits like Breaking Ground and the African American Planning Commission. What a difference it makes!

Yours,
