The development also provides affordable housing for households earning 30%, 40%, and 60% of the area median income (AMI) and is currently 100% occupied, demonstrating the strong demand for permanent supportive housing. Developed by Xenolith Partners, LLC through New York's Vital Brooklyn Initiative, the nearly $50 million project combines affordable housing with more than 13,000 square feet of community space offering employment services, legal assistance, mental health counseling, education, and wellness programs to help residents achieve long-term stability.
