HISTORY AND MISSION
A little over two decades ago, the Bronx Shepherds were organized by
pastors, ministers and laypersons 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.
