New York, NY Twelve properties just south of Crotona Park will soon undergo rehabilitation and renovation work in an effort to enhance the quality of life of hundreds of Bronx residents. With a $2.4 million construction loan from community development non-profit LISC NYC, 201 units of affordable housing stand to benefit from work led by Beulah Housing Development Fund Company, Inc – a consolidation of four previously existing limited partnerships – who will be replacing boilers and roofs across the dozen buildings and leading parapet and exterior masonry work.
“Quality shouldn’t be sacrificed for affordability, which is what makes projects like this so critical to protecting the quality of life of hundreds of New Yorkers living in affordable units in the Bronx,” said Janet Lorn, community development officer for Housing at LISC NYC. “We’re grateful to work with this group of partners to create deeply affordable housing options in a way that allows those living in these units to take pride in the place they call home.”
“We’re excited to get to work on this project that will enhance the quality of life of hundreds of Bronx families, while ensuring and maintaining deep affordability to allow lifelong tenants to remain in their homes,” said Michelle Fox, executive director of Beulah Housing Development Fund Company, Inc. “We thank LISC NYC, HPD LIHTC Preservation, and CPC for their trusted partnership in helping to make this project possible.”
In addition to the $2.4 million construction loan provided by LISC NYC, funding for the project was also secured through HPD and CPC.
