New York City Council · Jun 25, 2026 · starts 0:20:12 · 49 sec

Restler specifies that 50% of affordable units are deeply affordable, 161 units for seniors, and 110 units of supportive housing for formerly homeless individuals with on-site services.

Lincoln Restler

50% of those affordable units are going to be deeply affordable.

Lincoln Restler

So to give you a sense, a family of three making $76,300 a year will be able to rent a two-bedroom apartment at $1,822 a month.

Lincoln Restler

That is deep affordability.

Lincoln Restler

26% of the apartments will be for moderate-income households, 172 units.

Lincoln Restler

161 of the affordable homes will be designated for seniors, and we all know the need for affordable housing for seniors.

Lincoln Restler

That means that a senior making $34,600 a year can rent a one-bedroom apartment for just $911.

Lincoln Restler

And 30% of the units, and this was very important to me personally, 110 apartments will be supportive housing.

Lincoln Restler

That's deeply affordable housing for formerly homeless individuals with on-site services to ensure that we are actually meeting the moment of our homelessness crisis.
