Providing NEW and AFFORDABLE housing

The project’s primary goal is the one-for-one replacement of all 1,016 existing units, where each household is guaranteed the right to return. They will be accompanied by the addition of over 2,000 middle-income and market-rate apartments, creating a diverse neighborhood accessible for those of varying economic levels.



When complete, the development will also feature a broad range of neighborhood amenities like small businesses and retail, open green space, and a Community of Opportunity Center complete with robust programming, where residents can go for job training, educational classes, senior services, and children’s’ activities.

The project will also include a 100% affordable senior building with on-site services built in Phase One.
