## Resource

Habitat for Humanity is launching its biggest housing push ever in New York, building 179 new co-op units across Brooklyn and the Bronx — the largest number they’ve ever had in the works at once. Brooklyn’s East New York project grew from 77 to 108 units, while the Bronx’s Claremont House expanded from 40 to 71. All land is leased for 99 years via Community Land Trusts, with support from city and state programs like the Open Door and New Infill Housing Opportunity initiatives, boosted by the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity plan. Future homeowners benefit from tax abatements, targeting the “missing middle” — hardworking families priced out of homeownership. This is part of a broader affordable housing effort backed by billions in the upcoming fiscal budget. Despite past challenges, including a legal dispute over the Elizabeth Street Garden in Manhattan, Habitat remains committed to delivering stable, affordable homes.
