ABOUT RED HOOK INITIATIVE (RHI )

Red Hook Initiative(RHI)

is a Brooklyn-based nonprofit working to improve the lives of more than 6,500 residents of Red Hook Houses, Brooklyn's largest public housing community. We believe that social change begins with empowered youth and that transformation should come from within the community itself.

In partnership with local adults, RHI nurtures Red Hook youth to be inspired, resilient, and healthy-envisioning themselves as co-creators of their lives, community, and society. Our core approach-youth development, community building, and community hiring-equips residents with tools and opportunities to overcome historic inequities and lead the way toward a more equitable, hopeful future.

Over the past 22 years, RHI has been nationally recognized for its innovative, place-based model and was recently awarded a $1M unrestricted gift from MacKenzie Scott's Yield Giving initiative.

RHI's programs :

• Youth Development : Engages 450+ adolescents annually, from middle school to young adulthood, to build pathways out of injustice and toward opportunity.
• Building Community : Supports residents in organizing, leading change, and strengthening neighborhood resilience.
• Investing in Residents : Prioritizes local hiring-over $1.1M in wages earned last year by Red Hook residents.
• Red Hook Farms : Operates youth-led urban farms providing affordable produce, STEM and nutrition education, and employment opportunities.
