Covenant House To Get New Home Inside Affordable Housing Complex
(DNAINFO) Rosa Goldensohn — A West Side refuge for homeless youth will get a sparkling new home topped with affordable housing, according to city documents.
Covenant House, located at 460 West 41st St., will get a “state-of-the-art facility” that will house its national headquarters as well as local programs, the city’s Economic Development Corporation confirmed.
The new development will also build housing that is approximately 40 percent affordable, including 100 units of supportive housing, EDC confirmed.
The new complex will be constructed between West 40 and 41 Streets and 10th and Dyer avenues. That lot currently contains the current Covenant House building, the now-vacated Hunter College Voorhees Campus, which is city-owned, and a Port Authority parking lot and bus ramp.
