The overall mission of the Neighborhood Association for Inter-Cultural Affairs, Inc. (NAICA) is dedicated to the economic, social and cultural resurgence of our Bronx neighborhoods. We seek to serve as a catalyst for self-realization that transforms and uplifts the lives of community residents. NAICA was founded on the principle that people need an affordable solution to dealing with their housing problems. Our goal is to build and maintain affordable housing, to provide housing mediation and legal representation to low income area tenants, to help residents become active and contributing citizens, and to provide educational-cultural programs aimed at bringing together the myriad of cultures that make up the Bronx. It is our objective to create an environment in our community that engages us in partnerships with residents, business leaders, and elected governmental officials in the creation of a living environment that is safe, nurturing, and affordable to low and moderate income individuals and families.
