HPD, HDC & WIN CELEBRATE GROUNDBREAKING OF $80 MILLION SUPPORTIVE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN BROOKLYN
Brooklyn, NY – October 21, 2015 – (RealEstateRama) — Win, one of the largest nonprofits serving homeless women and their families in New York City, was joined today by New York City’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) Commissioner Vicki Been, New York City Housing Development Corporation (HDC) President Gary Rodney, and partners to break ground on a new affordable housing development in Brooklyn’s Brownsville neighborhood.
The Win Glenmore development is financed under Mayor Bill de Blasio’s Housing New York: A Five-Borough, 10-Year Housing Plan. The most comprehensive affordable housing plan in the City’s history and largest municipal housing plan in the nation, its goal is to create and preserve 200,000 units of affordable housing for very low- and middle income families to help address New York City’s affordability crisis.
An innovative mix of government and private sector funders have partnered with Win to support this project, including HDC, HPD, the New York State Homeless Housing and Assistance Program (HHAP) under the Office of Temporary Disability Assistance (OTDA), the office of Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the New York City Office of Environmental Remediation (OER), Richman Housing Capital, Bank of America, the Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH), and Glenmore LLC.
The affordable housing units not filled by special needs referral will be through NYC Housing Connect, an Open Lottery System to ensure fair and equitable distribution of housing to income-eligible applicants.
