"The building will be separated into two wings. The east wing will contain 69 affordable homes for low-income families earning between 50 and 70 percent area median income (AMI) and 105 homes for the formerly homeless. The west wing will comprise 169 apartments for homeless families and individuals being served by the New York City Department of Homeless Services"

This situation is different. Homeless basically are getting supportive housing which requires they be grouped together for effective and efficient delivery of services.

Basically what you've got is a homeless shelter on one side with large amount of low income "affordable" housing on other. Then some remaining market rate housing.

Sounds like a recipe for a hot mess.

I agree. Not sure why they wont just build buildings for the formerly homeless, they could even include supportive programs inside those buildings

Believe it or not some developers do need some number of market rate component for these buildings to pencil out. 100% homeless, supportive or whatever housing is expensive in a few ways including fact various federal, state and local taxes will be paying good part if not all rent for "formerly homeless".


Even with a non for profit/charity running these places, such housing costs money.

Who cares if they get supportive housing services? They’re getting a new home and are under the SS care. At least they treat them with dignity and not all of them are bad people but I feel for the families who will get a new home having to deal with the lowlifes who get an apartment as well not appreciating **** and making it hard to enjoy living in their new place.
