In partnership with an affordable care provider in NYC, WAKE was retained to explore, analyze, and assess the viability of up-zoning half an NYC block into an affordable housing development for individuals and families facing chronic poverty and at risk of becoming homeless. With over 300-units, Bronx Development 1 can provide 100+ units for women, single moms, and those at risk with children to call home and 200+ units at a 50/30/20 Mixed-Income. 40+ units are dedicated to households earning up to 50% of the Area Median Income, while 60+ units are reserved for those at a median income with the remaining 100+ units locked in a set market rate. Through a range of affordability tiers, Bronx Dev. II aims to support a growing city while fighting against systemic marginalization.
