Garden Street is the last project to be undertaken as part of our Anchor-Based Neighborhood Revitalization initiative (ABNR). This initiative brought new life a two-square block neighborhood in the City of Poughkeepsie. Once a neglected, crime-ridden area, this neighborhood has been transformed through the rehabilitation and new construction of 40 apartments, 19 homeowner units, and four commercial spaces. 55 Garden Street, a vacant, blighted building, will be torn down and replaced with a historically appropriate building housing five apartments. Two of these apartments will be fully handicapped accessible.
Thompson Street will soon be a new home for our emergency shelter for homeless, runaway, and throwaway youth ages 11 -17. The current building on the site, which is completely uninhabitable, will be replaced with a state of the art facility that will provide more user-friendly and spacious quarters for the staff and children. The new facility will also include a new room reserved for a parenting teen.
Dubois Circle and North Clinton Street is the second phase of our latest homeowner housing development program. This project will create six single-family homes on Dubois Avenue and one two-family home on North Clinton Street for sale to first-time homebuyers. Homes will be available for sale through our NeighborWorks HomeOwnership Center of Dutchess County.
Hudson River Housing recently purchased this 16-unit property. Following renovation, units in the building will be available for rent as single-room occupancy rooms.
