On December 19, 2022, S:US, in partnership with Apex Building Group, L+M Development Partners, and RiseBoro Community Partnership, broke ground to celebrate the development of Alafia at the former Brooklyn Developmental Center under the NYS Vital Brooklyn affordable housing initiative.

We’re grateful to Governor Kathy Hochul, State Senator Roxanne J. Persaud, Assemblymember Nikki Lucas, Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, NYS HCR Commissioner RuthAnne Visnauskas, NYS OMH Commissioner Dr. Ann Sullivan, community partners, and lenders for creating life-changing opportunities for New Yorkers.

Alafia is located on a 27-acre site in the Spring Creek section of East New York. With more than 2,400 dwelling units, all of which will be affordable to households earning 80% AMI and below, Alafia is intentionally designed around wellness, providing considerable set-asides for high health-cost populations. All residential units will be constructed with green building standards and energy-efficient appliances; passive house design principles will be incorporated.
