The front page story of
The New York Times
on February 3rd outlines how CAMBA Legal Services Attorney (CLS) Claunick “Nick” Duronville scored a major Housing Court victory a few weeks ago for his client who is a home health aide, Elinora De La O. Because of Nick’s dogged persistence in making the case that Elinora had become like family to her client, even working without pay after moving in, he was able to secure for her the right to remain in the client's rent controlled apartment in Bay Ridge at $283 a month. This victory comes about because the client was referred to CLS as a part of
NYC’s Right To Counsel initiative

Rogosin Institute, steadfast in helping CAMBA transform the services we provide, has donated Mac computers to the Howard Cornerstone Community Center, the
fourth
CAMBA site to receive computers from Rogosin. There was a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony January 30 to unveil the CAMBA-Rogosin Institute Computer Lab that included Barry Smith, M.D., President & CEO of the Rogosin Institute, Daniel Levine, Rogosin’s Chief Information Officer, Thresia Harris of NYC’s Department of Youth and Community Development, and Council Member Alicka Amprey-Samuel.
The Computer Lab will help young people and their families build critical computer skills to compete successfully in our highly technical world. Other sites receiving this extraordinary gift from Rogosin include the Flagstone and Kensington Family Shelters and the Cypress Hills Cornerstone Community Center.

, the Brooklyn-based furniture and lifestyle store, continued its generous contributions to CAMBA by beautifying all nine of our Cornerstone Community Centers. About 60 west elm staffers volunteered on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to paint the Pink Cornerstone Community Center and the Stuyvesant Gardens Cornerstone Community Center. Two sites have been completed so far: the Albany and Brevoort Cornerstone Community Centers. Brevoort will have its formal unveiling on February 12.
