Our Story

Working Towards a Better Tomorrow

The Kingsbridge Heights Neighborhood Improvement Association, Inc. (KHNIA) is a community-based, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, existing under the laws of the State of New York, located at 2805 University Avenue, Suite B, Bronx, NY 10468-2608, dedicated to organizing neighborhood residents to stabilize and improve our community. KHNIA is committed to using a grassroots approach: community leaders are involved by working on issues and making decisions affecting this neighborhood and the neighborhood association. We bring together tenants, parents, homeowners, religious leaders, merchants, and community members to organize for better schools, decent and affordable housing, community reinvestment, safer streets, community development of the Kingsbridge Armory, and a better quality of life.
