Coming soon - Renee Steedley Residence
The African American Planning Commision ("AAPCI") is designing new affordable housing units to meet the needs of its constituents. Half of the 40 unit development at its Renee Steedley Residence will be designated for working families who are survivors of domestic violence. The second half of the project will be set-aside for low-income working families who have been priced out of "market rate" housing in New York City.
Coming Soon. Edwin's Place.
The goal of Edwin's Place is to meet the immediate and long term needs of single adults, elderly couples, and families living with HIV/AIDS.
Additionally, Edwin's Place seeks to facilitate independence, dignity and well-being through a complement of safe, affordable housing and day-to-day supportive services provided to tenants. All tenants MUST be capable of independent living and may not require 24 hour round-the-clock, on-site medical intervention.
Domestic Violence advocates and staff of the African American Planning Commission turned out at New York's City Hall on Tuesday for a mock funeral to "mourn for victims of domestic violence who are dying for a safe home." The Voices of Women Organizing Project (VOW) was calling on City officials to expand and improve access to permanent and/or transitional housing for women and children who are forced to leave domestic violence shelters after their 135-day maximum stay.
