New Affordable, Supportive Housing in Bushwick
Here’s a rare bird: non-icky-looking affordable housing. What’s pictured is the Anna Gonzalez Apartments, a 99-unit supportive housing rental at Broadway and Willoughby in Bushwick that’s being dedicated to Gonzalez, the former chairwoman of Community Board 4, this week. All of the furnished apartments will be rented to tenants who earn no more that 50%…
Here’s a rare bird: non-icky-looking affordable housing. What’s pictured is the Anna Gonzalez Apartments, a 99-unit supportive housing rental at Broadway and Willoughby in Bushwick that’s being dedicated to Gonzalez, the former chairwoman of Community Board 4, this week. All of the furnished apartments will be rented to tenants who earn no more that 50% of Area Median Income, the formerly homeless working, or individuals living with HIV/AIDS or a mental health diagnosis. The conversion project was developed by Central Brooklyn Community Services, Camba Housing Ventures, and designed by a firm called Oaklander Coogan & Vitto. GMAP
ok – i agree w/bxgrl – that person who’s whining needs meds for their mental illness. they definitely aren’t original new yorkers- if you don’t believe in a new york community go back to kansas.
it’s great that finally this city is rewarding people who have loved it through thick and thin & not only when suits found brooklyn pretty- kudos on affordable housing!
Not only a second chance, but a lot of these people have really pulled themselves up out of terrible situations and worked hard to make their lives better. And others just need our compassion. I realize that a lot of people think everything should be judged monetarily but there are things you just can’t and expect to survive as a viable, humane society. Or in fact survive at all.
C’mon, folks, lighten up. Everyone deserves a second chance. This is a good thing.
I guess you could live here bxgrl, if your friends ever decide they are sick of letting you rent out their basement and selling kitty litter for a living.
– What, the stupid bxgrl
Yeah, 12:29, where does it mention “children you can’t afford” or being “bad at what you do”? You may qualify to live in this building because it seems you have mental health issues yourself.
Hey 12:29. Sorry you found the article so upsetting. maybe you just shouldn’t have read it.
disgusting – yes, be bad at what you do, have children you can’t afford, don’t do well in school and be financially irresponsible, and you get rewarded!!! GROSS!!!!!
Pay up like everybody else who struggles in this city.
this is totally, mind bendingly nauseating.
Welcome back!!!!!! Montrose-
I totally agree with what bxgrl and 10:54 said. What is more green than adaptive reuse, and kudos for the recent attention to other neighborhoods, even Brighton Beach!
