NYC HPD Selects Development Proposal for Bed-Stuy Affordable Complex
The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) selected “The Steps at Saratoga” proposal from RiseBoro, IMPACCT Brooklyn and Urbane Development to build new affordable housing for seniors and low-income families on a vacant lot in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. The project aims to be the first development in NYC to build a community-owned local network plant, providing more affordable internet access to residents and local businesses.
The two-building project is expected to produce approximately 238 new affordable homes, including 158 for low-income families and 80 for seniors. Approximately 49 of the homes will be set aside for formerly homeless households, including 25 for families and 24 for seniors.
“‘The Steps at Saratoga’ is an incredible example of community-driven development that will ensure Bed-Stuy residents have the resources, housing and opportunity they specifically asked for in the Bedford-Stuyvesant Housing Plan,” said Chief Housing Officer Jessica Katz.
