Mission
The Mott Haven Port Morris Community Land Stewards is a New York corporation, qualified as exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and classified as a public charity under Sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) of the Code. The Mott Haven-Port Morris Community Land Stewards (MHPMCLS) was incorporated in 2015 by South Bronx residents to acquire land for public use and to hold it in perpetuity. We believe we have a responsibility to steward the land and to use it in a way that values the lives of the people who live on it. To that end, we advocate for community-driven development and work to create and steward physical space for cultural, social, artistic, educational, environmental, and recreational benefits and opportunities that improve the quality of life in the South Bronx.
