Construction is underway on the first phase of Innovative Urban Village, a $270 million affordable and supportive housing development located on the campus of the Christian Cultural Center in East New York, Brooklyn. The current phase, referred to as Phase 1A, will bring 385 new affordable apartments to the area, along with commercial space that includes a full-service grocery store offering fresh produce. The project is designed by Practice for Architecture and Urbanism (PAU) and SLCE Architects and developed by the Christian Cultural Center, Gotham Organization, and Monadnock Development.

Of Phase 1A’s 385 apartments, all will be affordable to households earning between 30 and 80 percent of the area median income, with 94 units reserved for individuals and families in need of on-site supportive services. These services, provided by Urban Resource Institute, will include case management, legal support, nutritional counseling, and other social services.
