"Built in sections from 1912 to 1925, the city-owned five-story building at 1958 Fulton Street houses several community services orgs, including CAMBA HomeBase and Little Flower Children & Family Services. But it's in need of $60 million in capital repairs, according to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, and has a high vacancy rate, in part because of its dire need for repairs and upgrades."
"On May 7, the city's Department of Housing Preservation and Development and Human Resources Administration will start a public engagement process meant to gather local feedback and help shape the redevelopment. The site, dubbed "Fulton-Howard West," includes the Multi-Service Center, the old P.S. 28 school building and attached running track on Herkimer Street, and an additional vacant city-owned plot."
"Mayor Zohran Mamdani - who campaigned on the promise of building 200,000 affordable units in 10 years and has moved to speed housing construction on city-owned land - said his administration is "using every tool available" to build new affordable homes. "Fulton-Howard West shows what's possible when we treat public land as a public good. This project will help longtime Bed Stuy residents stay in their neighborhood while creating new space for the organizations and services that communities rely on every day," Mamdani said in a statement."
