Bay View Houses

Site Improvements

Rehabilitation work consists of upgrading all apartments and common areas, modernizing building facades, elevators, and heating systems, and abating environmental hazards. The development team is also preserving the historic aspects of the site and enhancing building infrastructure with new roofing systems, enhanced lighting, improved energy efficiency, free Wi-Fi access, and robust safety and security systems. Additionally, site measures include the addition of outdoor space, playgrounds, basketball courts, and beautiful landscaping.

Project Highlights

Bay View is in construction as part of the Permanent Affordable Commitment Together (PACT) program, NYCHA's implementation of HUD's Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program. The project combined close cooperation with resident leadership to achieve an incredible outcome at the first completed building. The physical improvements are paired with substantial social services to meet residents' needs provided by IMPACCT Brooklyn. The PACT partner team will offer training and employment opportunities for Bay View residents during construction.
