At MAP, our commitment to our nonprofit clients and those they serve goes beyond just design and construction. Recently, we volunteered with Unique People Services, Inc. Services at 2050 Grand Concourse, and had a fantastic time! Our group, including staff, friends, and family not only served food and shared in the fun, but they also volunteered their time and design expertise to redecorate the apartment of one of the residents, and facilitated a workshop where residents learned to make their own eco-friendly cleaning products. Sustainability starts at home! 2050 Grand Concourse is a NYSERDA #BuildingsofExcellence award winner that offers 96 units of affordable and supportive housing in the Bronx. #ArchitectureForGood #CommunityFirst #Volunteering #BeyondTheBlueprint #DIYCleaning #BBQFun #GivingBack

30 years ago today the New York Times reported that "MELROSE COMMONS, the ground-breaking attempt by a South Bronx community to design its own urban renewal plan, has made it through the New York City bureaucracy." Receiving approval from the City Council, was a culmination the incredible organizing work done by local leaders and the community group that they formed - Nos Quedamos. Our firm worked with them pro bono to develop the Melrose Commons plan and over 25 years we've partnered with local organizations and developers to replace vacant lots with 15 buildings and nearly 1,300 units of affordable housing in the neighborhood. Other designers, nonprofits and builders have added yet more developments in this decades long transformative work, which is a model for community-centered design.
