Honoree: Louella Hatch (1939-2017) was known for her decades of work to improve quality of life and housing conditions in her Fordham neighborhood. She began tenant organizing with the Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition, informing her neighbors of their rights and mobilizing them to transfer their building from a negligent owner to a new and accountable landlord. She was a constant presence in the civic life of Community Board 5, attending every 46th Precinct Community Council meeting. She served as the President of the Precinct Council for many years and coordinated many annual events, including a play street in the summer; her own National Night Out block party; and a toy and clothing drive during the holidays.
