Southside United HDFC – Los Sures began the task of rebuilding the Southside of Williamsburg in June of 1972. The community residents who started the organization were responding to an epidemic of: landlord abandonment, withdrawal of city services, and illegal evictions by landlords. Forty-seven years later Los Sures currently provides a myriad of resources like: affordable housing, tenant organizing, community outreach, a senior residential center, a senior recreation center, a hydroponic farm, a local food pantry, and it serves a liaison between the southside community and some city agencies.
They held an annual benefit that celebrated their 47th and honored Evelyn Cruz (District Director for Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez); recognized St. Nicks Alliance with a Community Legacy Award, and Christine Hunter of Magnusson Architecture and Planning (MAP).
