Established in 1964, IMPACCT Brooklyn (formerly Pratt Area Community Council) is one of Brooklyn's premier community development corporations serving Central Brooklyn. The organization works hand-in-hand with low and moderate-income community members and stakeholders to preserve, develop and market affordable housing. They aim to create home-ownership opportunities, protect tenant rights, combat predatory lending practices and prevent home-loss. In addition, they focus on promoting commercial revitalization, strengthening small local businesses and improving the financial well-being of community residents through education and counseling.
