Doe Fund Breaks Ground on BK 200-Bed Transitional Housing
The Doe Fund, a homeless services organization, broke ground on a 200-bed transitional housing residence at 510 Gates Avenue in Brooklyn. Financing for the project comes from both public and private sources, including the NYC Department of Homeless Services, SLC Management, and KeyBank’s Community Development Group.
The residence is designed by Urban Architectural Initiatives and developed by Bolivar Builders and Round Square Development. Construction is estimated to be completed in 2025. The Doe Fund’s program, Ready, Willing & Able, will provide individuals living in the residence with paid work, housing, and support services.
“The City’s investment in 510 Gates Avenue speaks to the need for holistic solutions. Our program’s ‘three-legged stool’ of paid transitional work, housing, and comprehensive social services will provide the individuals who live here what they need to stabilize and secure the skills, confidence, resources and network to get a job, build a career, and secure housing — all in one place.” said Jennifer Mitchell, president and CEO of The Doe Fund.
