CAMBA was joined by supporters, staff and honorees on Nov. 2 at Tribeca 360 for a very special 40th anniversary celebration. Guests enjoyed an evening of cocktails, delicious food and lively conversations, and a lucky few went home as the winners of highly prized auction items. Also a part of the night's excitement was the debut of a video which told the story of CAMBA's work over the past 40 years: Watch CAMBA's 40th anniversary video here.

CAMBA hosts Mayor Bill de Blasio and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams in October

CAMBA hosted the Mayor for his announcement on affordable housing.

CAMBA was honored to host both Mayor Bill de Blasio and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams on two separate occasions last month. First, CAMBA Gardens hosted the Mayor who announced the city's plan to expand affordable housing. We were pleased to receive praise from city and elected officials who commended CAMBA on its work to provide housing for New Yorkers in need. Later that same day, CAMBA hosted city officials and the Borough President at The Kensington Family Shelter . Officials toured the facility and discussed the importance of providing families in need of housing with both shelter and access to resources that will allow them to stabilize their lives. The visits of these city officials reaffirms our commitment to providing our clients with the services they need and we look forward to continuing this work in 2018.
