From our small office space on Cortland Avenue, we offer Senior, Youth, Community Organizing and Affordable Housing Services to residents of Bernal Heights. The BHNC built Market Heights, Coleridge Park Homes and, presently, Bernal Gateway, making housing affordable for over 300 neighbors. Throughout the years, and with the help of thousands of neighborhood residents, the BHNC has become an integral part of the Bernal Heights Neighborhood.
Members sit on our committees, participate in actions and elect our board of directors.
This year we have an ambitious goal of recruiting over 600 members. Congress is a special day to meet neighbors, have fun and participate in political action. Last year Mayor Willie Brown attended and granted our demand for a new affordable housing development in the Excelsior. This year we hope to tackle the issue of evictions and improving our schools.
