St. NicholasIn 2004,
Project Renewal opened St. Nicholas House in Harlem, home for 94
formerly homeless or very poor New Yorkers. The newly constructed,
7-story building is a model of supportive housing, providing residents
with on-site services that help them to stay housed – including medical
and mental health care, social services, employment services, and
recreation programs. All St. Nicholas residents meet HUD's annual
income guidelines – specifically that no resident shall earn more than
60% of the
area's median income,
a percentage that amounts to $22,428. Funding for St. Nicholas came
from New York City's Department of Housing Preservation &
Development, Department of Homeless Services, Department of Mental
Health & Hygiene, and New York State's Homeless Housing Assistance
Program.
