Who We Are

The East Village Community Coalition works to recognize, support, and sustain the built and cultural character of New York City's East Village.  This character includes a diverse population; low-rise, human scale, blocks and affordable buildings with historic and architectural significance; a multitude of community gardens; indigenous stores and businesses; and the neighborhood's history and ongoing tradition as a haven for those seeking freedom to express artistic, creative, and social concerns.
