Twice per year, the West Harlem Development Corporation (WHDC) facilitates awarding access to Columbia University (CU) facilities, services, and amenities to the local Manhattan Community District 9 (West Harlem) community. WHDC has identified certain existing and future CU resources which it believes will enhance the needs of the West Harlem community. Local non-profit groups apply for space to host their events on Columbia’s campus once per semester, and requests are granted based on availability.
