Affordable Housing Lottery Opens for 169 Apartments in Morris Heights, Bronx
Applications are now open for 169 affordable apartments in the Bronx as part of the second phase of the Starhill development in Morris Heights. The development, located at 51 Featherbed Lane, includes 244 residences, with 74 units designated as supportive housing for formerly homeless individuals and families. These units offer on-site supportive services. The apartments are available to New Yorkers earning 40, 50, and 60 percent of the area median income, with rents ranging from $777 per month for studios to $2,142 per month for three-bedroom units. The project, developed by Services for the UnderServed and Bronx Pro Group, spans nearly two acres and was initially developed in the early 1990s as a hospice care hospital. The site was later converted into a residential treatment center before being demolished in 2019 due to deteriorating conditions.
