Community Organizing: At CUFFH, community organizing is the backbone of our movement-building efforts to address the critical issues impacting our most vulnerable neighbors. We engage, organize, and mobilize directly impacted residents to uplift key issues, develop strategies, and create solutions through participatory, democratic processes. By providing leadership development and organizer training, we empower community members to lead the fight for lasting change!

At CUFFH, we fight for permanent protections and pathways to citizenship for all 11+ million undocumented immigrants, including families, workers, and students. We demand citizenship for TPS holders, DACA recipients, and individuals in temporary programs, while calling for an immediate end to deportations, immigrant detention, and the closure of detention centers to prioritize family unity. Recognizing the vital contributions of essential and excluded workers—such as farmworkers, caregivers, and domestic workers—we advocate for a clear pathway to citizenship. CUFFH also pushes for humane, inclusive immigration reform to address outdated laws and ensure protections for asylum seekers and refugees by restoring asylum processes and expanding pathways to residency and citizenship.

At CUFFH, we’ve taken action by teaching workshops on deportation defense, partnering with churches to build a sanctuary network across the city, and protesting family separation and immigrant detention in NYC and DC.

CUFFH offers year-round affordable housing workshops where community members receive an introduction to our work and get training and assistance to navigate New York City's affordable housing lottery application process.

CUFFH Youth is a dynamic and inclusive community of young activists dedicated to creating a more just and equitable society!

 We are the youth arm of Churches United for Fair Housing (CUFFH), a grassroots advocacy organization deeply rooted in faith and community spaces. Our mission is to empower BIPOC youth from low-income backgrounds with the resources, knowledge, and courage to be catalysts for systemic change. We believe that by channeling the power of our communities, we can generate momentum and action to address pressing issues related to housing, immigration, social justice, and economic equality!

At CUFFH, we fight for climate justice by organizing BIPOC, immigrant, and working-class communities most impacted by environmental harm and systemic inequality. We demand the government declare a climate emergency and take immediate action to address the crisis, prioritizing frontline communities. To ensure housing and environmental stability, we call for investments in green, resilient, and permanently affordable housing, particularly for BIPOC and immigrant families facing displacement.

We demand an end to the era of fossil fuels through a just transition to renewable energy, halting new fossil fuel projects, and phasing out existing infrastructure. Corporate polluters must be held accountable with strict penalties for environmental violations and reparative investments in communities harmed by pollution. To build climate-resilient neighborhoods, we advocate for protections against extreme heat, floods, and pollution, alongside investments in community-driven solutions, green jobs, and sustainable infrastructure.

At CUFFH, we’ve taken action by organizing communities to challenge environmental injustices, pushing for climate-resilient affordable housing, and holding governments and corporations accountable to protect our people and our planet!

At CUFFH, we are proud to leverage political power to transform local, state, and federal politics to truly serve low-income, immigrant, and BIPOC communities. Our mission is to educate, mobilize, and build grassroots political power that advances housing justice and equity for our most vulnerable neighbors. We work to demystify inaccessible and exclusionary government systems and encourage our members to take the space they deserve at every level—local, state, and federal—so that our voices are heard in the halls of power.

We are committed to passing legislation that will directly impact our members and faith-based networks, especially on critical issues of housing, immigration, and social and economic justice. We advocate for policies that will keep New Yorkers in their homes, stabilize our communities, and create lasting change for those most affected.
