Housing Development

The Housing Development program helps tenants buy and repair their buildings so tenants become homeowners. We have developed 522 apartments in 24 buildings.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Applications are now being accepted for a newly renovated affordable cooperative apartment at 21 Arden Street in Washington Heights! This apartment is for cooperative ownership and will require board approval before acceptance. 21 Arden Street Cooperative was developed through the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development’s Affordable Neighborhood Cooperative Program (ANCP).
