#NYCHA and Resident Leaders Select Asland Capital Partners, Breaking Ground, and Douglaston Development to Deliver $80.7 Million in Major Repairs for Sack Wern Houses Approximately 849 residents at the Bronx-based NYCHA campus will receive renovated apartments, upgraded building systems, enhanced security, and improved on-site social services. Sack-Wern resident leaders were highly involved in the selection process in a year-long engagement process during which residents outlined priority improvements; organized a committee to review proposals; and conducted site tours of projects in all proposing team portfolios. The proposed upgrades and improvements submitted by the Sack Wern #PACT partners development team include fully refurbished apartments with new flooring and upgraded kitchens; upgrades to plumbing, heating, and electrical systems; as well as enhanced security that includes access control, lighting, and security cameras. Hallways, lobbies, community rooms, and laundry facilities will also be renovated under the proposal. New community space will also be created under the proposal. Leveraging the social services and community engagement expertise of PACT partner Breaking Ground, a new on-site social services provider will survey resident needs and provide resources and programming for all Sack Wern residents. This will include local hiring opportunities for NYCHA residents in management and construction. Full press release: https://on.nyc.gov/3g5lmx2
