Housing and Services, Inc to Open Latest Permanent Supportive Housing Solution, Building on 35 Year History of Success
Housing and Services, Inc. (www.HSI-NY.org) – a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide innovative solutions for homeless and housing insecure New Yorkers through the development and management of permanent supportive housing – will host community leaders, elected officials and other stakeholders at a ribbon cutting ceremony for the opening of their latest development in the Bronx.
The Bedford is a 13-story, 108-unit building that will offer a mix of affordable, permanent supportive, senior (AIRS) and low-income family housing with 68 studios, 21 one-bedroom and 19 two-bedroom apartments. This time-tested mix has proven to be the most cost-effective and compassionate model to end chronic homelessness and to provide truly affordable housing to low-income households. The Bedford comes at a critical time for New York City, and presents a modern and scalable solution that should be replicated across the five-boroughs.
Located 100 feet from the subway, The Bedford offers resident amenities that include a community room, computer learning center, family recreation space, laundry room, bike room, a landscaped rear yard and roof terrace providing two large outdoor areas for the multi-generational residents to enjoy together. The development also includes office space for HSI social services, 24/7 security, and onsite maintenance team.
