Upliftment 1000 Pilot is a pilot program proposed by Bronx NHS and aims to address the severe shortage of affordable housing options, particularly for low-income families. The program intends to increase the supply of affordable housing
through targeted investment in the construction and rehabilitation of single-family, multi-family homes and out of commission multi-family structures into selected 2 and 3 family condominium units. The program also proposes to provide homeownership assistance to help families purchase these homes.
The program will start as a pilot program, assisting 15 families to secure affordable homeownership. This program will not only provide much-needed housing options for low-income families, but it will also help to revitalize the community and improve the quality of life for residents. The long-term goal of this program is to provide 1000 families with affordable homeownership.
The Upliftment 1000 Pilot program is expected to have a positive impact on the community. The program will provide affordable housing options to low-income families, which will improve their quality of life. The program will also revitalize the community and contribute to the local economy by creating job opportunities which will lead to a positive impact on quality of life in these neighborhoods.
