St. Nicks Alliance

We are a nonprofit, non-sectarian community development organization serving low- to moderate-income North Brooklyn residents. It all started in 1975 when a group of determined residents and businesspeople committed themselves to fight the climate of economic decline in North Brooklyn. After a fire destroyed a row of frame buildings on Power Street, leaving 18 families homeless, parishioners of St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Church responded immediately to help their neighbors rebuild their lives. We haven't wavered from the heart of that mission since then. St. Nicks Alliance emerged at the forefront of a nationwide grassroots movement to preserve and improve our neighborhoods. Today, with more than 1,350 employees, St. Nicks Alliance seeks to transform lives of low and moderate income people through employment, education, housing, and health care. We do this by delivering impactful services with measurable outcomes to children, adults, and the elderly. As a civic anchor we carry out this mission within the context of building a sustainable community for all people through environmental advocacy and urban planning.
