Public-Private Partnership Will Bring Affordable Rentals to Inwood
Project partners held a ceremonial groundbreaking recently for The Eliza, an affordable housing project in Northern Manhattan’s Inwood neighborhood. The initiative will bring 174 deeply affordable units of housing to the neighborhood, along with an updated, two-story library; a STEM Learning Center; a universal Pre-K program; and an Activities, Culture, and Training community space.
The project is led by community nonprofits Community League of the Heights and The Children’s Village, and their partners Ranger Properties, Housing Workshop, and Alembic Community Development. The development was launched in June of this year by the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), the New York City Housing Development Corporation and The New York Public Library.
HPD says the Eliza represents a new model for affordable housing across the five boroughs, bringing the concept of ‘live, work, and play’ — often associated with luxury housing — to the affordable housing space.
