Urban Pathways and The Children’s Village are collaborating on East 147th Street, a new development in the Mott Haven section of the Bronx. Acquired in May 2024, this project is in the early stages of predevelopment, with the two organizations working to secure additional funding ahead of construction commencing. The proposed project is anticipating approximately 115 units, 76 of which will be supportive studios and one-bedroom units for formerly homeless individuals and young adults transitioning out of foster care, and an anticipated 39 studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments that will be affordable for low-income community members. The building design is expected to include supportive office space for staff, a multi-purpose room with access to a landscaped rear yard, and a spacious lobby. Residents will also enjoy amenities including a communal laundry room, building storage, bicycle storage, and easy access to nearby subway and bus transit lines.
