A politically connected Harlem nonprofit stiffed its supporters — including rapper Doug E. Fresh — who kicked in nearly $700,000 to keep it afloat.

The Greater Harlem Housing Development Corp., whose backers include Rep. Charles Rangel and City Councilwoman Inez Dickens, asked for handouts when its affordable-housing properties were facing foreclosure in 2005.

One elderly retiree who forked over part of her savings said she was promised her money back in 120 days — and still hasn’t seen a dime of it.

Carol Bellamy, 81, even took Greater Harlem to court to recoup part of the $21,000 she had given the group since 2003. In 2011, she won a $5,000 judgment, plus interest, that has yet to be paid.

“It never occurred to me that at this age in my life I’d have to be fighting for my money,” said Bellamy, who ran an insurance agency in Harlem.

Bellamy, like many of the other supporters who gave their cash to Greater Harlem, had been board members of the group run by Harlem power broker Lloyd Williams.

An October 2008 financial ledger from Greater Harlem obtained by The Post shows that 21 people loaned the organization money, which was to be paid back by Dec. 31, 2008.

It appears that at least two contributors were at least partially paid back, including Doug Davis, a k a Doug E. Fresh. A notation on the ledger shows that Williams paid $30,000 back to Davis in 2007, with another $70,000 of Davis’ loan outstanding.

Williams also heads the Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce and puts on the annual Harlem Week festival. He’s close to Rangel, who secured a $282,000 grant for the chamber.

Williams is also tied to Dickens, who once served on the chamber’s board.

Greater Harlem oversees 117 units of affordable housing in buildings it bought for almost nothing from the city two decades ago. It also sponsored the Strivers Gardens condos on 135th Street.

The Greater Harlem apartments have been plagued by money troubles and housing violations.

After the properties dodged the 2005 foreclosure action, the city gave the organization a $2.55 million forgivable loan in 2008 to make repairs. The city handed over another $2 million last year for more repair work.

Greater Harlem drew criticism last year when it sought to sell a vacant plot of land on 135th Street to a condo developer for $1.2 million. Instead of using the windfall to fix up its buildings, Greater Harlem was going to to pay off debts, including $172,166 owed to Con Edison.

The property sale closed in December and, according to the city, debts were either paid or money was set aside for them.

The city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development said it wasn’t aware of any money owed to board members.

Anthony Chilliest, a lawyer for Greater Harlem, told The Post that most of the loans made to Greater Harlem by its supporters “haven’t matured yet.”

He said the group didn’t know about the court judgment secured by Bellamy. Bellamy showed The Post copies of her receipts for mailing the court documents to the organization.
