For the 2017-18 school year, the City created three new Community Schools in East Harlem: PS 83 Luis Munoz Rivera (City Year), PS 108 Assemblyman Angelo Del Toro Educational Complex (The Leadership Program), and Esperanza Preparatory Academy School (Union Settlement). The three new Community Schools, which are funded for five years, bring the total number of Community Schools in East Harlem to eight. Community Schools are neighborhood hubs where students receive high-quality academic instruction, families can access social services, and communities congregate to share resources and address common challenges. Each school has a Lead Community-Based Organization (CBO) partner that coordinates and delivers comprehensive services through a Community School Director (CSD), who is a CBO employee. In addition, the Office of Community Schools (OCS) provides support and partners with other DOE departments, city agencies, and philanthropic partners, allowing schools to efficiently access resources. Pursuant to available funding, the DOE will explore future opportunities to create additional Community Schools in East Harlem and citywide.

Done with Ongoing Work

The Living in Communities (LINC), CITYFEPS Rent Supplement (CITYFEPS), and Special Exit and Prevention Supplement (SEPS) Rental Assistance programs were created to help homeless families and individuals move from temporary, emergency shelter back to the community as quickly as possible by paying a portion of their rent. The Human Resources Administration (HRA) will dedicate LINC, CITYFEPS and SEPS resources to help 500 homeless families that were displaced from East New York and are currently living in shelter move back into the neighborhood if they so choose. HPD will use best efforts to encourage developers to set aside homeless set-aside units in new affordable housing buildings being built in East New York.
Timeline: HRA expects to begin allocating vouchers within 120 days of the memorialization of the ENY plan
Expense Funding: 500 vouchers

2016-ongoing

From April 2016 through March 2017, 206 homeless families and individuals displaced from East New York* moved into permanent housing with the support of the Living in Communities (LINC), CITYFEPS Rent Supplement (CITYFEPS), and Special Exit and Prevention Supplement (SEPS) rental assistance programs. Of these families and individuals, 34 moved back to East New York with this rental assistance. The City created LINC, CITYFEPS, and SEPS to help homeless families and individuals move from temporary shelters back to their communities by paying part of their rent. The NYC Human Resources Administration (HRA) is dedicating resources from these programs to help 500 homeless families and individuals displaced from East New York and living in shelters move back into the neighborhood if they so choose. When taking into consideration all housing assistance programs, including Section 8, NYCHA, NY/NY supportive housing, and enhanced one-shot deals, the number of homeless families and individuals from East New York who moved into permanent housing rises to 533, with 73 having moved back to East New York. HPD continues to incentivize, and in many cases require, developers to set aside units for formerly homeless households in new affordable housing buildings being built in East New York. For example, HPD's new Our Space Initiative funds the construction of rental units affordable to formerly homeless households who earn less than 30% of the AMI. HPD also recently released revised ELLA and Mix & Match new construction term sheets to ensure that projects financed under these programs include at least 10 percent of units for formerly homeless households. *East New York defined as zip codes 11207 and 11208

The Landmarks Preservation Commission calendared the three below properties for future consideration as landmarks (the first step in the designation process). They are: Public School 109, 215 East 99th Street (Property 1)
o The former Public School 109 was constructed in 1899 and transformed in 2015 into an affordable housing complex for local artists, and is architecturally and culturally significant as a Progressive-era elementary school designed by the Superintendent of School Buildings Charles B. J. Snyder. The architecture of P.S. 109 embodies the goals of urban educational and social reform at the turn of the twentieth century.
Benjamin Franklin High School, 260 Pleasant Avenue (Property 2)
o Benjamin Franklin High School, now the Manhattan School for Science and Math, is a Colonial Revival school from 1942 that was built to house East Harlem's first high school. This school featured an experimental curriculum referred to as "citizen-centered community education" that was implemented and developed by the pioneering educator, sociologist, and East Harlem resident Leonard Covello, to serve the diverse immigrant community of East Harlem.
The Richard Webber Harlem Packing House, 207-215 East 119th Street (Property 3)
o The former Richard Webber Harlem Packing House is a historic meat market building in East Harlem, constructed in 1895 and originally part of a larger commercial slaughterhouse, meat packing and retail complex. Prominent butcher Richard Webber commissioned the architectural firm of Bartholomew & John P. Walther in 1895, to design a Romanesque Revival style building to house his operations in Harlem. Additionally, the Landmarks Preservation Commission is expediting a detailed and comprehensive look at the First Spanish United Methodist Church (163 E111th Street) for landmark consideration due to its role in the history of the Young Lords in New York City, and will be considered by the Commission for calendaring on December 12, 2017.

HPD has partnered with EDC to develop 150-200 units of affordable housing on the city-owned property located on Beach 21st Street. The development will be 100% affordable for extremely low, very low, low and moderate income households. Although responses are still being reviewed, the City expects to finance the development of this site under the Mix and Match term sheet, under which the City commits to financing 20% of the total number of units affordable to families earning 30% AMI, and no units will be offered for households earning above 110% of AMI. Designation of a developer is expected early Summer, 2018.

HOUSING PRESERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT (HPD)

In Progress

The City commits to financing the development of 100% affordable housing on the existing public site (known as the Beach 21st Street site at Block 15705, Lot 69 and Part of Lot 59), and future public sites within the rezoning area. The Beach 21st Street site would facilitate the development of approximately 150-200 units of affordable housing in accordance with HPD term sheets. Although responses are still being reviewed, the City expects to finance the development of this site under the Mix and Match term sheet, under which the City commits to financing 20% of the total number of units affordable to families earning 30% AMI, and no units will be offered for households earning above 110% of AMI. The City commits to including a retail and/or community facility component within the ground floor of development on the Beach 21st Street site. The City commits to providing an update to the Council Member on the selection process in fall 2017.

Additionally, HPD will continue to prioritize planning and development efforts for investments in new affordable housing on publicly-owned land in the adjacent Edgemere and Arverne East neighborhoods.

2017-2020

In July 2018, HPD, HDC, and EDC announced the selection of The Community Builders (TCB) to redevelop an underutilized City-owned lot at Beach 21st Street with approximately 224 affordable homes, commercial space, and community facilities. The new mixed-use, mixed-income development will create over 130 homes allocated for households earning up to 60% of area median income. The remaining apartments will be offered at a range of affordability levels. The project will also create approximately 24,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, 8,000 square feet of community space for early childhood education and other community services, and approximately 90 parking spots for residents of the building and the public. The City is currently working with the development team to secure construction financing for the project and expects to break ground in 2020.
