"Fulton-Howard West shows what's possible when we treat public land as a public good. This project will help longtime Bed-Stuy residents stay in their neighborhood while creating new space for the organizations and services that communities rely on every day. And as this process moves forward, neighbors will help shape what gets built here, from the housing to the public space to the services that will serve this community for decades to come."
"Built in 1912, the city-owned five-story building at 1958 Fulton St. houses several community services orgs, including CAMBA HomeBase and Little Flower Children & Family Services. But it's in need of $60 million in capital repairs, according to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, and has a high vacancy rate, in part because of its dire need for repairs and upgrades."
The city will redevelop a 1912 five-story building at 1958 Fulton Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant that currently houses community service organizations but requires $60 million in capital repairs and suffers from high vacancy rates. The redevelopment site, called Fulton-Howard West, encompasses the Multi-Service Center, the former P.S. 28 school building with its running track, and an additional vacant city-owned plot. Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration identified this site as part of efforts to build 200,000 affordable units in ten years using city-owned land. Public engagement begins May 7 to gather community feedback. The project will preserve social services while creating affordable housing and public space for the neighborhood.
