Our History
Churches United for Fair Housing (CUFFH) is a grassroots advocacy organization rooted in faith and community spaces that provides affordable housing services and integrated social resources.
CUFFH organizes our working-class BIPOC communities around issues of housing, immigration, social, and economic justice to generate power and harness true liberation.
Where we started….
CUFFH was born out of community organizing efforts around a rezoning and development at the Broadway Triangle, Brooklyn that would create dramatic racial disparities and increased segregation in the area. After 10+ years of listening to and building with our communities in their housing struggles, annual meetings with church and community leaders, and deep dives into the ethnic and economic demographics of our communities seeking affordable housing, we understand that the only thing that will truly reform affordable housing in NYC is systematic change.
Where we are now…
Today, The CUFFH Network reaches thousands of community members across the city and includes core churches with collectively 20,000 congregants supporting CUFFH’s mission. Each week CUFFH offers free and open to the public community workshops at our member churches to provide affordable housing services, among multi-issue relevant services and resources.
