State Issues RFPs for 2,000-Plus Affordable Units in Brooklyn
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has announced five RFPs to construct approximately 2,300 affordable homes on parcels of land controlled by the state or owned by Brookdale University Hospital in central Brooklyn. The solicitations through New York State Homes and Community Renewal are part of phase two of the state’s Vital Brooklyn initiative, and will be followed this summer by another round of RFPs for 1,000 more affordable units.
“Developments are going to include community facilities and open space,” Cuomo said. “So, it’s not just going to be housing; it’s going to a housing complex that has community space and facilities that helps the entire community.”
Each location will host a new ambulatory care center, Cuomo said. Proposals on the first round of RFPs are due by July 13.
