Photo Exhibit Documents Bronx Housing Conditions
This Friday, the Bronx Documentary Center is hosting a week-long photo exhibit that chronicles poor living conditions in Bronx public housing complexes, photos that advocates say show a desperate need for the city to address the health threats posed by the city’s affordable housing stock.

The opening reception is this Friday, March 30 at 5:30 p.m. Check the flier below for more information.
