Stabilizing veterans, the frail elderly, seniors, and formerly unhoused families and individuals
The Bronx Grove is a $173 million public-private investment in the Bedford Park neighborhood of the Bronx. The development brings two buildings of much-needed, sustainable, transit-oriented, workforce and supportive rental housing to the area.
The Bronx Grove provides 127 affordable homes for local community families and individuals, and 194 supportive homes for families and individuals referred by the New York City Human Resources Administration (HRA) that include the frail elderly and veterans. Additionally, there are two apartments for onsite supers (one per building) for a total of 323 homes. CAMBA provides onsite supportive services available to all tenants and 24/7 front desk security.
The Bronx Grove is targeting LEED-Gold and ENERGY STAR certifications, and promotes healthy indoor-air quality through non-toxic finishes, ventilation, and a non-smoking policy. The development includes a 102.6 kW rooftop solar panel system on each building.
With a focus on local hiring, CHV sponsored three construction job fairs, and CAMBA and CHV anticipate creating up to 50 permanent jobs. CHV has exceeded the NYS HHAP Minority-Owned Business Enterprise, NYS HHAP Women-Owned Business Enterprise, NYS HHAP Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business, and HFA Minority-Owned Business Enterprise goals.
CHV also facilitated a connection between NYC HPD’s marketing community outreach team and Bronx Community Board 7 to schedule informative tutorials on the NYC Housing Connect lottery process, in English and Spanish. The Bronx Grove lottery ended on April 28, 2023; the building is currently fully leased.
