Wonderful day in Brooklyn! MAP had the honor of joining Fifth Avenue Committee, elected officials, state and city agencies, residents and many more for the ribbon cutting at Sunset Ridge! The development's 84 affordable senior apartments are spread across a new building and two renovated townhomes next door. 30% of the units are set aside for seniors coming from the city shelters. For the remaining 57 units, available through the city's housing lottery system, more than 42,000 applications were received. The need for quality senior housing is clear and given the emotional remarks from a building resident at today's event, so too is the power and importance of this work.
