Housing Alternatives - Subsidized Buildings
The Foundation's subsidized buildings were developed with the understanding that most
seniors prefer to live on their own. And, there is no reason
why most of them cannot - as long as they have sufficient
finances and access to certain basic services, as required.
This is where the Foundation's subsidized buildings come in. They
provide an apartment-based lifestyle for well, frail and
handicapped seniors - complete with the specialized
services that many require. Common areas such as lobbies,
dining rooms and gardens have been created with the
residents' comfort and well-being in mind, designed in
cooperation with a prominent New York interior designer.
30 to 40% of the residents of seven of the Foundation's subsidized buildings benefit from the
Enriched Housing Program. The staff provides case management services and organizes various social
and recreational activities.
Alma Rangel Gardens Alma Rangel Gardens, at West 137th Street between Lenox and 5th Avenues in Manhattan, offers social and recreational services to seniors in 89 units of subsidized low income housing.
