Racial Equity
Statement

At IMPACCT Brooklyn, we strive to embody the call to build flourishing communities. Our mission to strengthen neighborhoods by preserving quality housing and providing educational services is inseparable from our commitment to racial justice, accessibility, belonging and excellence—values that shape both our work and our culture.
 
Guided by these principles, we take a comprehensive, intersectional approach that embraces people of all backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences. Through more than 60 years of community engagement, we have witnessed firsthand how structural racism creates barriers to housing stability, economic mobility and community prosperity.
 
We are committed to dismantling these barriers through intentional action. This means centering community voices in our decision-making, applying a racial equity lens to our programs and operations, and leveraging our networks with elected officials, funders and stakeholders to advocate for systemic change.
Our work demands nothing less than the transformation of systems, outcomes and the communities we are privileged to serve.

Jamal C. Robinson, IMPACCT Executive Director

Our Mission

We build, restore, and preserve quality housing and educational services to keep our residents rooted in Brooklyn.

Our Strategy for Nurturing Strong Communities

Affordable Housing

First, we seek to preserve and create affordable housing. Fulfilling the fundamental right to affordable housing is a cornerstone for establishing well-being, preventing displacement and enhancing economic, racial and cultural diversity.

Economic Development

Second, we seek to promote and support the development of small businesses and vibrant commercial corridors. These are the engines of opportunity that create jobs for community residents, bring better services to our neighborhoods and enhance our community as a place to live.

Community Advocacy

Third, we empower residents to actively shape their neighborhoods. Through community advocacy, we build leadership, amplify local voices and strengthen collective action to address social issues, advocate for equitable policies and protect tenant rights. Our efforts ensure communities remain resilient, inclusive and reflective of residents’ values and aspirations.
