Conextus has been working with the Brooklyn Cooperative Federal Credit Union and Grow Brooklyn as Owner’s Representatives for the expansion of their Headquarters in Bushwick, Brooklyn, New York.
About Brooklyn Coop: Brooklyn Coop Federal Credit Union is a certified Community Development Financial Institution and community credit union whose mission is to build wealth, resilience, and opportunity by providing access to just and affordable financial services. Founded in 2001, Brooklyn Cooperative operates two full-service branches in Bushwick and Bedford-Stuyvesant and offer a wide range of consumer and small business financial services. After many years of working with a low- and moderate-income membership, they realized that, while providing access to affordable financial services is crucial for setting families upon the path towards prosperity, it is not enough. There are often other obstacles that keep working families poor. In 2007, Brooklyn Cooperative founded its affiliate Grow Brooklyn.
About Grow Brooklyn: Grow Brooklyn is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission to grow and preserve the assets of residents, ensuring their economic security and that of their communities. They have three programs: free tax preparation, free financial counseling, and free and low-cost legal services.
