The East Village Community Coalition (EVCC) works to foster a neighborhood where residents, businesses, and stakeholders unite to shape a vibrant and sustainable future. Through outreach, research, and advocacy, we protect the rich culture and history of the East Village, champion local businesses, and promote practices that prioritize sustainability. With long-standing programs, dynamic partnerships, and a readiness to tackle emerging challenges, the EVCC empowers our neighbors and strengthens our community.
The East Village Community Coalition envisions a neighborhood where:
● Residents, businesses, and stakeholders are deeply connected, actively engaging with local issues and driving positive change.
● Independent local businesses thrive, celebrated as the beating heart of our economy and community.
● Cultural and historic landmarks are fiercely protected, preserving the soul of the East Village for future generations.
● Greenspaces and community gardens flourish, creating hubs for recreation, connection, and sustainable living.
● Research and evidence-based strategies lead the way, ensuring thoughtful, impactful decisions that address community priorities.
Our key initiatives include Community Engagement, Food Justice, Neighborhood Preservation, Retail Diversity and Sustainability.
We hope you’ll Get Involved in the work that the EVCC does!
