Fort Schuyler House is the visionary creation of the late Reverend Howard Weaving, a beloved member of the Throggs Neck community in the Bronx, New York.
In the late 1960's Reverend Weaving formed a collaborative relationship with Presbyterian Senior Services and the State of New York Division of Housing and Community Renewal to build an affordable, safe, attractive, well maintained housing facility for any adult 62 years of age or older of moderate income and capable of living independently.
That vision became a reality in 1973 when Fort Schuyler House opened. Ever since, it has been a place so many seniors have been proud to call "home."

Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
