The City Council approved an HPD-led initiative to build 75 deeply affordable apartments on three vacant city-owned parcels in Brownsville, Brooklyn. Developed by the Fifth Avenue Committee in partnership with HPD, the buildings will offer rents set between 30% and 70% of Area Median Income, including 21% of units for homeless households. Emphasizing family living, the project features multiple three-bedroom apartments designed for a family of four earning up to $54,000 per parent. Located in Community Board 16—where 55% of households are rent-burdened—the development leverages city land to expand housing at critical income levels. The program integrates on-site community rooms and supportive services, ensuring long-term stability and neighborhood engagement.
