Mayor Bill de Blasio’s NextGeneration plan to sell off NYCHA property to pay for additional services to the cash-strapped agency is kicking off at the Ingersoll Houses in Fort Greene with a 16-story building holding 145 affordable apartments earmarked for seniors from the LBGT community.
NYCHA along with the City’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) yesterday announced the plan along with construction of affordable apartments for individuals and families on the Van Dyke Houses parking lot in Brownsville.
