Homeward Central Harlem, which opened its doors in late 2023, is the nonprofit Homeward NYC’s third supportive housing development tailored to LGBTQ+ young adults between the ages of 18 and 25. The compact and modern nine-story building, sandwiched between two larger apartment buildings on a quiet street, includes 50 studio apartments as well as common gathering spaces with brightly colored furniture and accent walls. Staff provide services ranging from mental health counseling to job search training. Homeward Central Harlem also offers something less tangible: A place to recover, breathe, and chart a fresh start.

Enterprise Community Partners hosted U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) Housing Ecosystem Development Grantees at an in-person public event and roundtable discussion highlighting resources, shared learnings, and challenges faced by affordable housing developers on the islands.

CLTs can help empower and stabilize communities by including residents in the decision-making process, and can play an important role in preserving affordable housing and promoting wealth-building in low-income communities.
