Remember that Habitat for Humanity project in Brownsville we covered last month? Turns out, according to a story in the Times, that 41-unit condo is the largest housing development that Habitat’s ever had a hand in. It’s also led the organization to start changing its development model in New York City so that it focuses more on multi-unit builds rather than single-family homes. “Ideally, in our quest to serve as many families in need as possible, what we want to do is to be as nimble and as entrepreneurial as possible,” said Josh Lockwood, Habitat’s executive director in New York City. The nonprofit is currently building other large developments in the Bronx.
