Frederico’s House is a planned first-of-its-kind intergenerational community resource founded in honor of Fred The Godson. A proud South Bronx native, Fred experienced poverty growing up which helped him see the future through a relatable lens.

His spirit is guiding our organization to empower the community through a cohesive effort for mutual, understanding, opportunity and prosperity.
