Wakefield

Mayor Eric Adams and Department of Social Services (DSS) Commissioner Molly Wasow Park recently celebrated the opening of a new affordable housing development at 4180 Carpenter Avenue in Wakefield, The Bronx. Designed by Marin Architects and developed by RYTY Home Builders, the 64-unit building is the first created through the city’s Affordable Housing Services (AHS) initiative to prioritize women-led households. It supports residents with CityFHEPS vouchers and aims to provide long-term affordable housing for households transitioning out of the shelter system.

The affordable housing lottery has launched for Wakefield Grace Senior Housing, a six-story mixed-used building at 4750 White Plains Road in Wakefield, The Bronx. Designed by Marin Architects, the structure yields 73 residences. Available on NYC Housing Connect are 50 units for residents at 50 to 60 percent of the area median income (AMI), ranging in eligible income from $0 to $83,880.
