Full Description: The East River Development Alliance (ERDA) is a non-profit organization in Long Island City, Queens, working to transform and improve New York City public housing neighborhoods by providing residents with the tools and opportunities necessary for self-sufficiency and economic mobility.
Providing Skills, Support and Access to Meaningful Careers
ERDA is creating public housing neighborhoods where residents have the skills and opportunities to work in jobs that pay a living wage and that are connected to meaningful career paths. ERDA is committed to providing the tools and resources residents need to succeed ...whether helping to access quality job training, open a bank account, attain affordable childcare or a GED.
ERDA believes that residents in public housing are an untapped asset for neighborhoods and that employers can benefit significantly from this underutilized workforce. ERDA believes that developing linkages among existing community institutions and community partners makes both economic and social sense.
Fostering Vibrant Communities
ERDA is creating public housing neighborhoods that are vibrant communities anchored with the basic goods and services that allow families to thrive. ERDA is working to ensure that residents living in public housing neighborhoods have access to fresh food, mainstream financial institutions, and great schools in safe and clean neighborhoods.
Mission Statement: Founded in 2004, the East River Development Alliance (ERDA) is an innovative nonprofit located in Long Island City, Queens working to provide public housing residents with the tools and resources for economic success.
Insider Tips: The Queensbridge housing project in Long Island City is the largest public housing development in the country, with at least 10,000 residents, and another 6,000 low-income families live in nearby Ravenswood. But only 30 percent have bank accounts, and most don't qualify for loans from traditional financial institutions ...which makes it hard to get ahead.
