Affordable Housing & Jobs Boost East New York
Update: 2025-12-28
Description
East New York, a Brooklyn neighborhood long plagued by poverty and crime, receives a significant boost with the approval of land-use changes near the Broadway Junction transit hub. This development brings one thousand affordable housing units, retail space, light manufacturing, and a new Green Economy Institute for job training. Developers commit to local hiring, contracts for minority- and women-owned businesses, anti-displacement efforts, and family-sized units. Despite concerns from some community members, leaders and developers see this as a chance to revitalize the neighborhood and provide opportunities for its residents. Checkout Solipillow.com
