Residents of Brownsville, Brooklyn, are working to restore economic vitality through the Brownsville Hub Cooperative. Led by La'Shawn Allen-Muhammad and supported by a $1.3 million grant, the initiative includes a new hub with affordable housing, a trade school, a credit union, and community spaces. Their goal is to transform vacant storefronts along Belmont Avenue into a vibrant business corridor, enhancing the area’s appeal and providing local residents with essential services and dining options.
"What's really unique is Brownsville has the largest concentration of public housing in the United States."
"The neighborhood's first spa, locally owned by a group of women, will be in the building."
