In today's edition of her weekly newsletter, New York City Councilmember Shahana Hanif discussed her satellite office in Kensington.
"Earlier this year, we opened up a satellite office in Kensington to better serve the community that raised me right here in Brooklyn. We opened our office in a popular Bangladeshi community space located at 118 Beverley Road in the main Kensington commercial corridor at the intersection of McDonald and Church Avenues. This office has served as a one-stop shop for so many people in Kensington. We’ve seen over 50 constituents out of this office, handling complex and detailed cases on immigration, public benefits, and housing assistance.For months, we had several staff going back and forth between our offices, but as of this past week, I’m excited that we’ll have a staffer based right out of Kensington to deepen our work. I’m thrilled to welcome Ali Boivab to Team Shahana! Ali started as an intern in my office this summer and quickly became a rising community organizer. As our new Kensington Liaison, he’s ready to build relationships and advocate for Kensington at every opportunity. He has a passion for helping immigrant communities, intimately understands the struggle of accessing economic resources for newly arrived families, and is excited to organize the Bangladeshi community to fight for our shared political goals in City Hall. I’m so excited to have him back on Team Shahana and can’t wait to see what he does in this new role!"
