Fred The Godson Foundation Website

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. An inspirational artist, song writer and celebrity, he exemplified the South Bronx as a dedicated and positive citizen who aspired to bring his community up with him. His spirit is guiding our organization to empower the community through a cohesive effort for mutual opportunity, understanding and prosperity.

Our facility will serve the South Bronx community in honor of Fred The Godson.
