To Develope CreateCoretta Scott-King Senior Apts.

Community Partners Commission Assoc.,Inc. (CPCA,Inc) is the lead sponsor and head of the Coretta Scott-King HDFC.Under the leadership of  Dedra Wade, President of CPCA, Inc. the organization has acquired more than $12 million dollars in funding from HUD, HPD and local elected officials Senator John Sampson, Borough President Markowitz and DHCR to create Coretta Scott King Senior Apartments; the name selected by communty residents.

The organization also had been awarde a $ 2 million dollar parcel of land( 23,803 sq. ft.) formerly owned by the City at McClancy Place (bet Jerome & Barbey Streets) in East New York Brooklyn; the site where th 51 unit senior housing will be built..

Community support for the project was so great that community resident requested the the new senior housng be called Coretta Scott-King Senior Apartments. The community and the organization all win because the site of the future Coretta Scott-King Senior Apartments has been vacant for over forty years. The tree lined property will be used to create a four-story, elevator equipped structure with 51 units of quality low-income senior housing. Each one-bedroom and studio apartment will have a kitchen, dining area and full bathroom. The handi-capped accessible building design and the proposed activities will allow active seniors easy access to all building locations and services.  The amenities and comforts include 24-hour security, on site parking, laundry room, community room, an exercise room, out door recreation and garden space.  Social and health services will be planned both on location and in the surrounding community. Seniors will enjoy a computer lab/learning center where seniors will have access to computer technology. 

The great and ever increasing support for the proposed senior housing is an indication that local residents recognize the value of developing senior housing at the property and they welcome the new senior residents. The need for the new senior housing is evident by the expression of support and assistance; In addition to having local low income senior housing, the local residents anticipate increased property values; continued revitalization of the community and enhanced economic growth over the next 10 to 20 years.

Further evidence of the need and support for the proposed senior housing has been provided by State Senator John Sampson who provided  leveraging funds for supplement construction and remediation.
