The Pratt Area Community Council announced this morning that applications for the lottery for the 12 affordable condominium units it’s developing at 420 Classon Avenue in Clinton Hill are now being accepted. Christened The Hawthorne, the development is a combination of three beautiful but formerly dilapidated turn-of-the-century houses. Here are the details: Four one-bedroom priced between $185,000 and $211,000 are available for households earning up to $73,700; four two-bedrooms priced from $258,000 to $270,000 are available for households earning up to $92,200; four two-bedrooms priced from $374,000 to $424,000 are available for households earning up to $116,900. There are three ways to get an application: 1) Pick one up in person at the PACC offices at 201 Dekalb Avenue or 1224 Bedford Avenue; 2) Download one from prattarea.org; 3) Send a SASE 41-cent business-sized envelope to PACC, Attn: The Hawthorne Condos, 1224 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, 11216. But you better get on the stick: The application deadline is January 18. Project completion is targeted for May.

“I love the change just hate the ignorance”
wow…hate is a pretty strong word for a boundary description.
How the lottery works?
From the NYC HPD website:

I have seen other recent renovations by PACC, the quality of work is solid. Everyone should encourage other local organizations to conduct similar programs with criteria like this to promote growth in a neighborhood. This is all positive.
this is on the clinton hill side of classon.
the other side of the street is bed stuy.
Congrats and thanks to PACC on this one. Beautiful job! Would that more developers would rescue beautiful buildings like this. And those prices–oy!
How does the lottery work?
Well technically these kids were shot on Lefferts East of Classon…
Actually it is on the border. Classon divides Clinton Hill (west side of street) from Bed Stuy (east side of street)
Its funny how when it R.E this area is called Clinton Hill, but a week ago around the corner it was known as Bed Stuy when two kids where shot..

This income range is middle class. It’s a shame that there aren’t more units at this price range. Finally something in the right direction.
All middle class new yorkers are going to be scrambling to get in on this. I know I’m filling out my application tonight.
