Mayor Adams' administration is announcing more affordable housing for Brooklyn.
There will be 450 affordable housing units coming to East New York. This is part of a larger Innovative Urban Village plan, which is expected to bring up to two thousand new affordable homes over the next few years on 10 and a half acres in Brooklyn. Pastor Bernard who grew up in East New York says this the kind of development that will keep people in Brooklyn and build families.
"To change the narrative in underserved communities like East New York. That narrative is and has been the way up is out. We want to change that. The way up is to stay."
The Urban Village plan includes a childcare center, community services and retail space.
