Hughes House
Estimated Opening: July 2011



In October 2009, Urban Pathways began construction on Hughes House, a 55-unit supportive housing residence at the corner of Hughes and Belmont Avenue in The South Bronx.  Based on our path-breaking Ivan Shapiro model, the residence will be home to adults recovering from mental illness.

Hughes House is the first of five new supportive housing residences in development or pre-development as Urban Pathways fulfills its goal of building nearly 400 new units of housing.   Click here to read about new projects in development.
