Protection and Preservation
The Crown Heights North Association, Inc. (CHNA) is a community-based nonprofit organization (501(c)(3)) dedicated to preserving the historic character, cultural diversity, and quality of life in the Crown Heights North neighborhood of Brooklyn. Since our founding, we have worked to protect the area’s architectural heritage, strengthen community engagement, and promote responsible development that benefits both longtime residents and new neighbors.
Our Story
Crown Heights North is one of Brooklyn’s most architecturally and culturally rich neighborhoods. Known for its historic brownstones, diverse communities, and vibrant culture, the area has long been a cornerstone of Brooklyn’s history.
CHNA was formed to ensure that this unique heritage is preserved while also addressing the needs of today’s residents. Our advocacy contributed to the designation of Crown Heights North as a New York City Historic District, helping to safeguard the neighborhood’s character for generations to come.
