NEW YORK—Community Housing Innovations CEO Ron Abad joined New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Department of Social Services Commissioner Molly Wasow Park on March 27 to celebrate Women’s History Month with the opening of a new 64-unit site with affordable housing in the Bronx that will prioritize women-led households.
It is the first Affordable Housing Services site to specifically prioritize renting units to women-led households. At this site, 64 units were created through the AHS initiative, which was launched last year to fast-track permanent, affordable homes for people in shelter. With the opening of this building, the Adams administration has already created 460 high-quality, deeply affordable homes for New Yorkers in shelter through the AHS initiative.
A highlight of the program was remarks by Chanda James Govan, a single mom with an 18-year-old autistic son and a 27-year-old daughter. Chanda was one of 44 families who have just moved into the new building managed by Community Housing Innovations. Her story of courage, gratitude and positivity moved everyone. She talked about the simple joys of having her own home, seeing the sunshine in the morning and raindrops on her window. "In the shelter it was dark, with no windows. I didn't even know if it was snowing until I went outside," she said.
“Community Housing Innovations believes that quality, affordable housing provides a firm foundation for a prosperous life, and all of us need a home of our own,” said Ron Abad, CEO, Community Housing Innovations. “We celebrate and welcome home each family that has progressed in their housing journey, moving from shelter to a permanent home. All New Yorkers should be proud of this great accomplishment.”
“We are putting New York City’s women first and giving them homes to call their own so they can thrive,” said Mayor Eric Adams. “This new building is the latest in our efforts to create subsidized apartments for New Yorkers using our administration’s Affordable Housing Services initiative, and it marks more than 450 deeply affordable homes we have created for New Yorkers in shelter. It also builds on our record-breaking progress connecting New Yorkers in shelter to permanent, affordable homes.”
Located at 4180 Carpenter Ave. in The Bronx, the 64-unit building for mostly women-headed households is the latest AHS site and the first to prioritize women-led households, to open as part of the Adams administration’s push to fast-track the creation of deeply affordable homes.
With approximately 460 units now open across AHS sites over the last year alone, DSS is working to expedite the opening of 568 more deeply affordable homes for New Yorkers in the shelter system with City Fighting Homeless and Eviction Prevention Supplement vouchers. DSS continues to develop the AHS pipeline, working with various not-for-profit providers to identify new high-quality proposals as the city looks to build on last year’s record-breaking progress connecting New Yorkers in shelter to permanent subsidized housing.
