Dear Neighbor,
Thank you for joining us for another week in review.
In partnership with the Bronx Economic Development Corporation, we are searching for a healthcare professional in our borough who has demonstrated exceptional service to be added to our Bronx Walk of Fame alongside incredible Bronx luminaries. Click here to nominate a healthcare leader!
On Thursday, March 7th, we are hosting our Bronx Higher Education College Fair in partnership with our Bronx Higher Education Task Force at Bronx Community College. Perspective students will speak to representatives from various Bronx colleges and universities, obtain information on financial aid and scholarships, and learn more about workforce development and degree programs. Then in the evening, we are partnering with the Garifuna Coalition USA Inc. for our Annual Garifuna Heritage Month Celebration at Bronx Borough Hall for a night of fun and entertainment. We hope you can join us!
We are also excited to announce that our Community Board application deadline has been extended to Friday, March 8th. Please continue to encourage your friends, neighbors, and loved ones to apply. You can click here for more information.
Lastly, identity thieves are increasingly using devices known as “skimmers” that attach to ATMs or credit card machines and steal consumers’ credit card and PIN numbers. The device is typically a simple plastic sheath placed over the card slot that appears to be part of the machine and that reads the magnetic strip on your card and then transmits the account information or saves it until the device is retrieved. You can click here for more information on how to keep you and your families safe from potential credit card scams.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 718-590-3500 or email us at webmail@bronxbp.nyc.gov.
In partnership,
Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson

We were proud to join Dr. Janine Adjo and Dr. Vanessa Louis for an important discussion at St. Barnabas Hospital on the Black Maternal Health crisis and how elected officials and healthcare professionals can work together to address the issue.
Even in 2024, your race can affect your quality of care and the likelihood of experiencing maternal complications or death.
We are grateful for our partners who understand this issue and work tirelessly alongside us and our Bronx Maternal Health Consortium (BMHC) to eliminate racial disparities in our healthcare system.
In partnership with School District 8 and Judge Cynthia Isales, we were proud to host the My Sister’s Keeper D8 Legal Professionals Luncheon to connect our middle school youth with legal professionals working at Bronx Borough Hall.
Our young girls will help shape the future of our borough and it’s important that we provide them with the tools to be successful leaders.
Stevenson Square represents an opportunity for us to reimagine housing in our borough by ensuring accessibility, affordability, homeownership, and support for our most vulnerable residents are at the forefront of our housing priorities.
This project will help transform the Soundview neighborhood and ensure our seniors can age in place with dignity and respect, residents living with disabilities will have units dedicated to their unique needs, and families can have ownership of where they live and enjoy building amenities without having to leave their neighborhood.
I want to thank Camber Property Group, my colleagues in government, and everyone else responsible for bringing this project one step closer to completion.
