This development is the realization of a vision our founders had to relocate our offices, which were scattered along on Frederick Douglass Blvd, into one location, making room for commercial activity on the boulevard. Punter stated: “While HCCI has developed more than 3000 units of affordable housing, these 50 units are special to us. I also want to thank our partners at HCR, CPC and all of our local elected officials that work with us regularly to further our shared goals of making New York City a more affordable city.” I want to thank Harlem Congregations for Community Improvement and L+M Development Partners for their vision and dedication to creating housing opportunities for extremely low- and very low-income households. This project not only serves some of the neediest New Yorkers, it also puts vacant land into productive use.
HPD Commissioner Vicki Been said: “Today we celebrate the opening of 50 new affordable homes in one of this City’s most vibrant communities. We at HCR thank all of our partners who are dedicated to ensuring that these new homes and this day care facility will provide a healthy community center point and touch stone for these residents, their children, and their children’s children.” Curtis Plaza took a lot of planning by strong and determined development and government partners who have deep roots in the neighborhood. That is core of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s housing and community development philosophy, and this is borne out in our programs and practices.
Rubin said: “When we finance new affordable developments, we look to create vibrant and lasting mixed-use developments that strengthen and complement the community. The Canon Frederick Boyd Williams’ Center for Child Enrichment opens in September. Job and enrollment information can be found online at. Named the Canon Frederick Boyd Williams Center for Child Enrichment, after HCCI’s first Chairman, the center will provide up to 150 daycare slots and is managed by Tender Tots, which is hiring and accepting enrollment for the child care center. In total the building yields 52,215 square feet of residential space, a 4,331-foot community service headquarters for HCCI, a 7,915 square feet for onsite parking, and a 10,000 square foot childcare center. An additional two-bedroom apartment serves as an onsite superintendent’s unit. Curtis Plaza includes seven studio apartments, 30 one-bedroom apartments, and 13 two-bedroom apartments. I commend HCCI and their partners for working to curb displacement and preserve the fabric of our neighborhood." These new affordable units, office space and childcare center will improve the quality of life for residents. Curtis Plaza a reality are exactly the type of collaborative effort needed to guide our City out of the affordable housing crisis. Wright said: "Now more than ever, our community needs access to affordable housing. I am confident that The Plaza and Center will inspire many generations of leaders to fight for the voiceless." He was an outspoken spiritual leader against South Africa Apartheid and advocated resources for those suffering from the scourge of HIV/AIDS. The late Canon Frederick Boyd Williams dedicated his spiritual leadership to uplifting the lives of children and their families. Curtis is an international champion for social justice and equality who never stops fighting for affordable housing and the further displacement of long term Harlem residents. Rangel said: "I am proud to join in the celebration of honoring two beloved friends and great men whose legacy will endure.
