Rebuilding the Bronx is Sponsored by SOMOS Community Care 

Bronx, NY — January 8, 2026 – News 12, the preeminent hyperlocal news source across the Tri-state area, today announced the return of Rebuilding the Bronx with all-new partner, Bronx Neighborhood Housing Services CDC, Inc. (Bronx NHS), and sponsor, SOMOS Community Care.

Rebuilding the Bronx, which premiered January 6, 2026, at 5am ET on News 12 The Bronx, will continue to provide viewers with valuable insights to help families access affordable housing, home repair programs, and neighborhood resources. Bronx NHS will have a featured segment each month, spotlighting community programs and personal stories that empower Bronx residents to strengthen their neighborhoods and secure lasting stability.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Bronx NHS for this year’s Rebuilding the Bronx program, a series that has brought real and lasting change to the Bronx community,” said Audrey Gruber, SVP & GM of News 12. “At News 12, we are dedicated to being more than just your trusted local news network, but also a community partner that seeks to elevate the important stories of areas like the Bronx that can support our viewers and their neighborhoods.”

“For decades, Bronx NHS has worked to build stronger communities through equitable access to housing, education, and economic opportunity,” said Gladstone Johnson, Executive Director. “Participating in Rebuilding the Bronx will allow us to amplify our programs, grant opportunities, and resources to reach even more Bronx residents, sharing real stories of empowerment and connecting our community with the tools needed to transform their futures.”

Last year’s Rebuilding the Bronx program drove incredible results for the 2025 partner Rebuilding Together NYC. After a year of exposure on News 12 The Bronx, application submissions for the Targeted Home Improvement Program (THIP) were up 530% year-over-year.

“Being featured on News 12’s Rebuilding The Bronx helped shine a spotlight on the incredible variety of businesses in our district while also showcasing the rich history of the area,” said Sasha Y. Ortiz, Executive Director Castle Hill Business Improvement District. “Since the segment aired, we’ve seen increased foot traffic and renewed interest from the community. It truly helped people see what the Castle Hill BID district has to offer.”
