Low Income Housing

68 Warburton Avenue, Yonkers

68 Warburton Avenue, Yonkers, New York, was a design of a low income housing project. Rehabilitation design services of an existing five story multiple dwelling building for formerly homeless clients with a daycare facility and in-house social service support.

Completed in 1993, it was, then, the only Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Part 92 project in New York. The Part 92 - Home Investment Partnerships Program matched private sector funds with funds allocated by HUD for low income and very low income family housing.

In some ways, this was a typical multiple dwelling design, however, persons coming in as tenants were on the streets for any number of months or years.

The basement level included space for donated clothing, footwear, and other necessities to help the residents start over physically, mentally, and emotionally.

The clients were the Zen Buddhist Community of New York, Greyston Builders, Inc.
