Home > Affordable Housing with Services > Downtown Brooklyn

Common Ground is developing a brand new 200-unit supportive housing building in downtown Brooklyn in collaboration with The Actors’ Fund of America. The residence will provide permanent housing for formerly homeless single adults with special needs, and lower-income individuals, many of whom will be employed in the performing arts and entertainment industries.

• One hundred units will house homeless or at risk adults including those with special needs and those participating in employment programs.
  
• The remaining 100 units will house single adults earning less than $26,400 annually.

The Actors' Fund of America will provide supportive services to all residents including social work, case management, medical linkages, entitlement assistance, nutritional services, hospice care and mental health services. The architectural firm of Polshek Partners is designing the building. Construction will begin in the Fall of 2004.
