Camber Cuts Ribbon on Harlem Seniors Housing
Elected officials, community leaders and others joined Camber Property Group for a ribbon cutting ceremony Wednesday at the Dr. Joan O. Dawson Plaza, a 136-unit affordable housing development in Central Harlem. Formerly known as Victory Plaza, the development at 11 W. 118th St. features 81 units set aside for low-income seniors and 55 homes for formerly homeless seniors.
The nine-story building was developed by Camber in partnership with Harlem Congregations for Community Improvement, Inc., the New York City Department of Housing Preservation & Development and the New York City Housing Development Corporation. Residents began moving into the development in February, though an official ribbon cutting was delayed due to the pandemic.
At the ceremony, the development team made a surprise announcement that the building had been renamed in honor of Dr. Joan O. Dawson, the former longtime chair of the board of directors at Harlem Congregations for Community Improvement.
