Gertrude”Pat” Marshall helped create NNI over 40 years ago to serve the housing needs of Stamford, CT.

 

 

NNI is still championing decent housing within reach of struggling and striving families and the elderly in Stamford and Fairfield County with ownership and rental housing in development and under construction.

  

About New Neighborhoods Inc:

In 1967, during Stamford’s transformational downtown urban renewal, the Council of Churches and Synagogues sponsored the creation of New Neighborhoods, Inc. as an independent, secular nonprofit 501c(3).

In a community struggling with the most persistent affordable housing crisis in the nation, NNI’s mission is to improve the quality of life in Stamford with housing that promotes economic stability, creates ownership opportunities and serves as a catalyst for strengthening neighborhoods.

New Neighborhoods, Inc., is Fairfield County, CT’s oldest active nonprofit housing developer, redeveloper, and manager of rental and owner-occupied housing.  NNI builds new homes, redevelops and rehabilitates existing homes, and manages rental properties for low and moderate income families and individuals and seniors at the heart of our workforce who are unable to afford market rate housing.

  • Safe, decent housing is the foundation on which individuals can begin to build better lives for themselves and their families.
  • Our communities benefit from social and economic diversity.
  • By collaborating with complementary organizations, NNI is a catalyst for empowering residents and homeowners to move up the economic ladder and participate more fully in the community.

We carry out our mission by developing, preserving and managing low, moderate and middle income ownership and rental housing, to keep Stamford a viable place to live, work and do business.

As the pioneer of low and moderate income housing in Stamford, NNI has developed more types of housing than any other non-profit in Connecticut: co-ops, condominiums,
family rentals, senior citizen apartments, high-rise, low-rise, rehabilitations, preservation, conversions, new construction and modular. And we continue to build.

On our drawing board and in the pipeline:

* Housing for middle income families (earning 50% to 80% median
income) who can’t find a place to live within their means.

* More subsidized rental housing for low and moderate income
families for whom a decent place to live is a crucial first step
towards gaining control and building a brighter future.
