The Hart, developed by CAMBA Housing Ventures, transforms an underutilized site into 57 units of sustainable, permanently affordable and supportive housing serving formerly unhoused seniors, families, and low-income individuals, representing $51M in public-private investment. Awarded through the Vital Brooklyn Initiative, the project will be co-located with a ground floor mental healthcare center. The Hart features on-site security, a community room, computer room, laundry room, landscaped terraces, bicycle storage, curated local art and access to CAMBA, Inc.’s on-site social services, which are individually tailored to each tenant’s needs. The Hart deploys Active Design principles and is pursuing LEED Gold and Energy Star Certification. A 33 kW solar array is currently being installed to lower operating expenses. The Hart fulfills the goals of Vital Brooklyn, elevating the standard of affordable and supportive housing in New York City and creating an innovative model of holistic health and housing that can be replicated nationwide.
