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 work of photojournalist Ana Brigida Moreira, How The Other Half (Still) Lives,” depicts tenants living amidst leaks, mold and crumbling ceilings. The opening reception is this Friday, March 30 at 5:30 p.m. Check the flier below for more information.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
