Landmark Place Creates 66 Affordable Homes for Seniors with Onsite Supportive Services for Formerly Homeless Households
Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the grand opening of Landmark Place, a $25 million affordable housing campus in the city of Kingston in Ulster County. The development features 66 new affordable apartments for seniors aged 55 and older, including 35 homes reserved for seniors in need of supportive services to live independently.
“New York’s seniors deserve access to safe, affordable, and supportive housing in the neighborhoods they call home,” Governor Hochul said. “My administration is dedicated to addressing the rising cost of housing with decisive action and additional resources, especially for our most vulnerable New Yorkers. Developments like Landmark Place are providing affordable homes, promoting the wellbeing of residents, and strengthening our communities for the future.”
The completion of Landmark Place complements Governor Hochul’s plan to make housing across New York State more affordable, equitable, and stable. In the FY 2023 State Budget, the Governor introduced and successfully secured a new $25 billion, five-year, comprehensive housing plan that will increase housing supply by creating or preserving 100,000 affordable homes across New York including 10,000 with support services for vulnerable populations, plus the electrification of an additional 50,000 homes.
Landmark Place includes the transformation of a historic building into 34 studio apartments, now called Landmark West, and the new construction of a four-story building with 32 one-bedroom apartments, known as Landmark East.
The Global Award winner will be announced in December in London. (Globals)
