Mayor Adams Breaks Ground on 385-Unit Affordable Housing Project in Brooklyn

Mayor Eric Adams recently initiated construction on Phase 1A of the "Innovative Urban Village" in East New York, Brooklyn.

This $270 million development will provide 385 affordable and supportive housing units, including commercial space for a fresh food grocery store. (Something that affordable or low-income housing has been missing for a while now in many US cities)

The project is part of a broader initiative to address the city's housing crisis and support vulnerable populations, part of the City of Yes program.

Overall, I am a big fan of this, since they also seem to be trying to solve the issue of lack of access to fresh food and combat the reliance on fast or ultra processed food for low income communities.
