Eight Stories of Supportive Housing to Replace East Flatbush Townhouse

Nonprofit Doe Fund, which develops supportive and affordable housing, has filed new building applications for a large eight-story apartment building and community facility at 1345 Rogers Avenue in East Flatbush. The 91,206-square-foot project will have 53 123 units, 40 off-street parking spaces and 44 bike storage spots, according to Schedule A filings. There will also be a kitchen, offices and a laundry room, as part of the development’s 32,098 square feet of community space.

The site at 1345-1357 Rogers currently consists of a two-story detached townhouse, a single-story garage and a parking lot, as well as a vacant lot at 562 East 28th Street. All told, the lots encompass 24,570 square feet, according to the property’s for-sale listing. Doe Fund bought the four properties for $3,100,000 a year ago. The organization offers job training, counseling and housing for parolees and veterans, in addition to those struggling with mental illness, substance abuse and chronic homelessness. GMAP

Update: Reps from the Doe Fund tell us this development will have 123 units of permanent supportive and affordable housing, including studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments.
