As millions of New Yorkers are shuttered at home during the COVID-19 crisis, access to the internet for socialization, school and work is crucial.
But for many people, that is not an option. Realizing this is a reality for far too many, Camber Property Group has worked to provide support to its residents during the pandemic, both through technology and direct outreach.
Recently, it distributed hundreds of personal Wi-Fi hot spots, known as a “MiFi,” to its tenants at their affordable housing developments in the Bronx, in order to help keep them connected during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The developer hosted several events over the past few weeks, where residents were encouraged to visit their lobby to receive a MiFi. The company made more than 600 MiFis available to residents of their Bronx Park and Highbridge House portfolios.

Camber believes that strengthening communities involves more than developing affordable housing. Last year, Camber was proud to help Key Collegiate Charter School find a temporary space for its students and staff in Brownsville, Brooklyn. Camber’s leveraged its development expertise to identify the right location, assist in lease negotiations, file proper permits and supervise construction. This allowed Key Collegiate to focus on the academic needs of its students and prepare for a fall opening.
Key Collegiate opened its doors in August 2018 and has one hundred fourth-grade students enrolled. The school plans to grow to be a fourth-through-eighth-grade school in the years to come, and in order to do so, it will need a larger, permanent home. Camber will be assisting Key Collegiate in this process, and we look forward to seeing Key Collegiate realize its full potential and helping the Brownsville community thrive.
