Get ready to celebrate and support our neighborhood at the Midtown South Community Council's Holiday Fund Raising Party! We are cocktail-ing at the Purple Tongue!
This year, MSCC has made incredible strides to fortify communities to fend off the growing health, housing, and food crises.
Our work is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves dignity, security, and a voice.
Our Impact:
Here’s what we accomplished together this year:
Feeding Our Neighbors: Our Urban Farm Program had its most successful season yet, distributing over 3,775 pounds of fresh, organic produce to residents of shelters and community members in need. This isn't just about food; it's about health, hope, and the comfort of a fresh meal for those who need it most.
Chelsea Public Housing Coalition The Midtown South Community Council is part of a powerful coalition of tenants, from the Fulton and Elliott-Chelsea Houses that are under threat of demolition, Chelsea community members, and local organizations fighting against the unnecessary demolition of public housing. We believe that preserving public housing is protecting our humanity, our community and saving our city.
Building a Movement for Justice: The Communities Together: Social Justice and Music Fest 2025 was a powerful testament to our community's spirit. We brought over 2,000 people together to rally for housing, health, and social justice, turning our streets into a vibrant stage for change and solidarity.
These achievements are more than numbers—they are stories of resilience.
They represent a child having access to nutritious food, a family feeling supported in their fight to stay in their home, and a community standing united against injustice.
The Fight is Far from Over
Despite our progress, the challenges are immense. The housing crisis deepens, public housing remains under attack, and food insecurity continues to threaten the well-being of our neighbors. Our opponents are powerful, but our community is stronger when we stand together.
Your generosity allows us to:
- Plant, harvest, and distribute thousands of pounds of fresh food to those who need it
- Organize forums, rallies, and educational events that mobilize communities to demand change
- Provide direct support and advocacy for public housing tenants facing eviction and harassment
- Support our legal fight against the demolition of Chelsea public housing
- Keep the pressure on elected officials to prioritize people over profits
Together, we are not just looking forward—we are building the future, one meal, one home, and one community at a time.
We are sincerely grateful for your dedication to our cause. Here are ways you can contribute:

The most important fight is happening now. And you are so terribly needed to win it!
For at least the last six years, the New York City Housing Authority—in collaboration with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and the feds—have been attempting to sidestep maintenance costs at both the Elliott-Chelsea and Fulton Houses through a shrewd
These private developers hope to level the existing residential buildings and replace them with six 39-story towers—-and numerous other new buildings which will mostly contain market rate housing. —
We are fighting in the courts, in the streets, and with the residents to save Chelsea's public housing and to stop the land grab.
