If you live in Flatbush, Midwood, or the parts of Kensington that fall within Brooklyn Community Board 14’s district, June is a busy month for civic engagement. CB14 has published its full June 2026 meeting calendar, and several committees are tackling issues that hit close to home for residents — from housing and land use to youth services and community safety.
Here’s what’s on the board’s agenda this month, how to participate, and why these meetings are worth your time.
About Brooklyn Community Board 14
Brooklyn Community Board 14 represents the neighborhoods of Flatbush, Midwood, and parts of Kensington — a diverse, dense slice of central Brooklyn with a strong mix of longtime residents, immigrant families, and renters navigating a tight housing market. The board meets monthly and holds committee meetings throughout the month on specific topic areas. All meetings are open to the public.
CB14 is located at 810 East 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230. You can reach them at (718) 859-6357 or info@cb14brooklyn.com.

CB14’s Key Committees and What They Cover
CB14 runs six standing committees, each focused on a specific policy area. June meetings cover:
Housing and Land Use
This is the committee to watch if you’re concerned about development, zoning changes, or tenant protections in Flatbush and Midwood. Central Brooklyn has seen significant development pressure in recent years, and the Housing and Land Use committee is the first stop for new applications that affect your neighborhood’s density and character.
Community Safety
The Community Safety committee works with the NYPD and local partners to address public safety concerns across the district. If you have specific concerns about your block or neighborhood — from traffic safety to crime patterns — this is where residents can raise them formally.
Transportation
Brooklyn’s streets are constantly changing — bike lanes, bus routes, parking regulations, and pedestrian safety improvements all come through community boards before they’re finalized. The Transportation committee is especially relevant for residents along major corridors like Flatbush Avenue, Ocean Avenue, and Kings Highway.
Youth Services, Education and Libraries
This committee covers public schools, library programming, and youth-serving organizations across the district. With summer approaching, this is a good committee to monitor for information about summer programs and school-year planning.
Human Services
Covers social services, mental health resources, senior services, and community organizations serving residents in need across the district.
Community Environment, Cultural Affairs and Economic Development
This committee addresses environmental quality, local business health, and the cultural fabric of the neighborhood — including issues around Newkirk Plaza, one of Brooklyn’s beloved pedestrian shopping streets.
How to Find Your Meeting Dates
CB14 has posted its June calendar as a downloadable PDF at cb14brooklyn.com/june-2026-meetings. Check the calendar for specific dates and times for each committee — the board updates agendas as meetings approach, so check back regularly for the latest information.

Making Your Voice Heard
One of the most effective things you can do as a Brooklyn resident is show up to your community board meeting. You don’t need to be a board member — members of the public can attend any meeting, make announcements, and speak during public comment. If you have a specific issue you want the board to hear, you can also reach out directly to CB14 staff before the meeting to ensure your concern gets on the agenda or reaches the right committee.
Community boards don’t have the final say on city decisions, but their recommendations carry significant weight. When a new building is proposed, a liquor license is applied for, or a street is being redesigned in Flatbush or Midwood, the community board’s position shapes what happens next.
