On behalf of Urban Builders Collaborative, LLC, Selfhelp Community Services, Inc., and RiseBoro Community Partnership, BFJ planning served as a consultant to guide the client through the CEQR, SEQR and NEPA review processes for an affordable housing development under the Next Generation NYCHA program. The project involved the disposition of public housing property in accordance with Section 18 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 to facilitate the development of a new 10-story mixed-use affordable senior building, designed to Passive House standards, in the Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, Community District 3. The Project Site, located at 43 and 67 Marcus Garvey Boulevard, Brooklyn, New York, is an infill site within the NYCHA Sumner Houses campus. The project included the development of 8,000 square feet of community facility space and 189 units of affordable housing targeted to moderate and low income seniors with incomes ranging from 30% to 50% of the area median income. The project also included construction financing from the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and New York City Housing Development Corporation (HDC). BFJ Planning prepared the required CEQR Environmental Assessment Statement (EAS), SEQR Environmental Assessment Form (EAF) and NEPA Environmental Assessment (EA). Potential impacts analyzed during the environmental review process included open space, transportation, air quality, noise, shadows, and hazardous materials. The project involved inter-agency meeting with NYCHA and HPD as well as a meeting and presentation to the Sumner Houses Tenant Association. The project is in the final stages of project approvals.
