In 1971, a group of clergy and interested community members joined forces and created Heights and Hill Community Council with the aim of helping to keep older neighbors fully woven into the fabric of the community, preserving the local “small town in the big city” feeling. Heights and Hill Community Council is committed to improving the quality of life of older residents of Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill and Boerum Hill, Brooklyn.

Through advocacy and various programs and services that support and empower the elderly and their families, Heights and Hill helps older Brooklynites to be independent and safe for as long as possible.

Heights and Hill Community Council is in direct partnership with the community and a large network of other public and private organizations.
