2026 The Power of Place Gala
Our Annual Gala raises critical funds that enable us to create and preserve high-quality affordable housing and provide resident services and amenities that help communities thrive. Thank you for your partnership in this work!
We’re excited to celebrate the power of place with you at our 2026 Annual Gala on Thursday, October 15th. This year’s gala will support our expanding work to bring new and rehabilitated high-quality affordable housing to Manhattan, Brooklyn, and The Bronx, with amenities, programs, and services that promote strong neighborhoods and stability for households leaving shelters. We’ll be heading up to Tribeca Rooftop for cocktails and dinner, and to celebrate the power of home, community, and the many contributions of our terrific honorees. Thank you for your support and partnership in this work!
