Our
Mission:
As
a neighborhood housing and preservation organization, GOLES
is dedicated to tenants' rights, homelessness prevention and
community revitalization.
Our
History:
A
group of Lower East Siders founded GOLES in 1977. Since then,
GOLES has worked with our neighbors to preserve quality, affordable
housing and to prevent displacement and homelessness.
Through
organizing and advocacy, GOLES has helped tenants know their
rights, save their homes and preserve their community by fighting
for safe, affordable housing
Today:
We
see ourselves as the leading force on the Lower East Side
in preserving not only buildings but community, its institutions,
culture and diversity.
Through training and education, direct service and advocacy,
community organizing and relationship building, we aim to
empower tenants, not just win improvements.
GOLES
provides free services to tenants who live between 14th Street
and Delancey Street, and from the Bowery/4th Avenue to the FDR
Drive. And to all public housing residents on the East Side
below 14th Street.
