NEWBURGH, NY

Navigating Newburgh

In partnership with BFP Creative, Navigating Newburgh is a monthly community meeting which was created to inform first-time homebuyers about real estate opportunities in Newburgh. As the forum has matured, the topics of the meetings and the speakers who have led group conversations have addressed community issues beyond real estate. Members of city government, upper level management in the Newburgh police department, and local bank representatives have spoken at past meetings. At its core, Navigating Newburgh is about building community knowledge within a kind, open and accepting environment. Meetings will move to the P.S. 6 Center upon the facility’s completion.

“The [Newburgh Community] Land Bank [sic] works with Habitat for Humanity, creating home-ownership programs that prioritize longtime Newburgh residents, and sponsors a residency called Artist in Vacancy, which lets artists make use of empty buildings before they become homes again.”
