The Problem

In 1999, Brad Lander won a BRICK Award for his work as Executive Director of Fifth Avenue Committee in Brooklyn, NY. Brad organized and empowered families in his south Brooklyn neighborhood to secure more than 200 units for affordable housing, start an environmentally-friendly Laundromat and a temp staffing agency to expand economic opportunity while promoting diversity, equality and social change.
