Governor Kathy Hochul has announced more than $125 million in state funding to support 13 housing projects across New York, including multiple developments in New York City. Administered through the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance’s Homeless Housing and Assistance Program, the funding will create 645 new units and nearly 1,000 beds across the state. In New York City, four projects led by New Destiny Housing, CAMBA Housing Ventures, WellLife Network, and the West Side Federation for Senior and Supportive Housing will contribute a combined 298 supportive units across Brooklyn and Manhattan.
In Brooklyn, New Destiny Housing Corporation has been awarded $12 million for Atlantic Avenue West, a 14-story, all-electric development featuring 97 supportive units designated for survivors of domestic violence. CAMBA Housing Ventures received $12.5 million for Kingsborough Seniors, a 15-story building that will include 73 supportive units for formerly homeless individuals over age 55, as well as community and wellness spaces. WellLife Network has been granted $15 million to develop Osborn Street Apartments, a nine-story building with 88 supportive units for individuals and families experiencing chronic homelessness or mental illness.
On Manhattan’s Upper West Side, the West Side Federation for Senior and Supportive Housing will use $5.9 million in funding to construct a 12-story building at 105 West 108th Street. The project includes 40 supportive units for older adults with histories of chronic homelessness and will be developed to Passive House standards for energy efficiency.
“Attaining stable housing is critical for individuals experiencing mental health or other challenges on their recovery journey,” said Dr. Ann Sullivan, Commissioner of the New York State Office of Mental Health. “Thanks to Governor Hochul’s ongoing investments in mental health initiatives and supportive housing, more veterans, older adults, survivors of domestic violence, and individuals facing mental health and/or substance use disorder challenges and their families are able to live and thrive in their community.”
