Since this property is a HOME program property that might not have a project based rental assistance contract, it is likely that it either has no waiting list or the waiting list is shorter than properties with rental assistance. You should contact the property to verify.
Note: Affordable Housing Online has not confirmed the waiting list status directly with the property. This waiting list status forecast is based on our housing experts' knowledge of similar properties. You should always confirm this status directly with the property.
Opened in 2012 on the site of an old jail once utilized by the U.S. Navy, Navy Green is permanent supportive housing for formerly homeless men and women with a mental illness and a history of substance abuse, and for low income working adults from the community. Navy Green was a finalist for the Corporation for Supportive Housing’s Eastern Region Project of the Year award in 2013 and is part of an innovative mixed-use development, located just outside the Brooklyn Navy Yard, which includes affordable and market-rate rental housing and home ownership, commercial property, and green space.
Navy Green represents a multi-faceted partnership between BCHS, Impacct Brooklyn, Dunn Development Corp., and L+M Development Partners.
BCHS oversees the social service programming at Navy Green, which receives referrals from the NYC Department of Homeless Services (DHS). Residents receive case management, mental health counseling, substance abuse counseling and nursing care, as well as vocational training and wellness, recreational and socialization activities. An on-site computer lab, art room, and exercise facility encourage positive activity and interaction.
This past year, more than 95% of Navy Green residents successfully maintained their housing with the agency or moved on to greater independence.
Project-Based Vouchers
Because Navy Green participates in HUD's HOME program for rental housing, at least some of the units in this property are set aside for households at or below 60% of the AMI and rents are capped at the local FMR and in many cases much lower. For a project of this size, some of the units are set aside for households at or below 50% AMI with a corresponding lower rent cap. As this property appears not to have a project-based subsidy or any other Federal assistance, you likely will have to pay your own rent, albeit, at a lower rent amount thanks to the HOME program. Since this property participates in the HOME program, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
