Affordable Housing
Berean Community Family Life Center believes it is important to be part of the community revitalization that is taking place throughout our city; while simultaneously ensuring that residents of communities like Crown Heights continue to have access to affordable housing.

In 2010 Berean Community & Family Life Center entered into a partnership with PK Developers, forming Berean Apartments LLC, to develop a 107 Unit Affordable Housing Complex and the new Berean Community & Family Life Center. With assistance from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, NYC Department of Housing and Preservation and Development and NYC Housing Development Corporation, BCFLC now provides housing for over 200 individuals.

The first two floors of the complex will be the new home for the Berean Community and Family Life Center (BCFLC). BCFLC will serve as the Social Service Provider for tenants in the building. In addition, we will continue to provide the quality social service, education and health and wellness programs that we have been providing to the community for the past 26 years. The new BCFLC will include classrooms, a fitness center, a state of the art conference room and a multi-purpose space for community groups

HOME Investment Partnerships Program
Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)

HOME Investment Partnerships Program

This project has received some funding from a participating jurisdiction (local or state government agency) through the HUD HOME Investments Partnerships Program (HOME). In projects with five or more HOME-assisted units, at least 20% of these units must be occupied by families earning 50% or less of area median income (AMI). All other HOME-assisted units must be occupied by families earning 80% or less of AMI, but in practice most are reserved for families earning 60% or less AMI. Maximum monthly rent is capped with a Low HOME Rent for <50% AMI units and a High HOME Rent for the remaining HOME-assisted units. Contact the property directly for the specific dollar amount of these rent caps.

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)

Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
