- HISTORY AND MISSION
ministers and lay persons that chose to remain in the South Bronx after major
institutions abandoned the area. This group felt that the rebuilding of the South
Bronx would be their task. Together they discussed approaches, goals, and
objectives and finally agreed that the organization`s mission would be the physical,
social and economic rehabilitation of the community, while also providing spiritual
substance and leadership.
Since its incorporation in 1980, the Bronx Shepherds Restoration (BSR) has been
a leading force bringing much needed services to the residents of the Bronx. Our
membership today consists of approximately 40 member churches, 99% of which
consist of minority congregations. The aggregate constituency consists of an
excess of 10,000 members.
The service area of the Bronx Shepherds includes the entire Bronx. One area of
which is located in the 16th Congressional District, which is one of the poorest in
the country.
Consequently, Bronx Shepherds Restoration (BSR) has established an impressive
record that shows what positive results can occur when government, various
agencies and the local communities join together to work towards a common goal
to bring much needed services to the residents of the Bronx.
The source of funding for administrative and operative functions come from the
Department of Housing and Community Renewal, New York State Weatherization,
and the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development.
Additionally, the Shepherds earn developer fees through the participation in
Housing Preservation and Development Tax Credit Rehabilitation Programs as
well as the Department of Housing and Community Renewals Housing Trust Fund
and HOME programs.
A major thrust of the organization has been the upgrading of existing housing either
through gut or moderate rehabilitation. For over a decade, BSR has owned and
managed a 64 unit multi-family property. From that achievement, we have been
able to expand owner/management to 21 other properties totaling 500 units.
