Bedford Green House I is a LEED-certified supportive and affordable housing development in the Bronx that opened in 2022. The 13-story building provides 118 affordable homes for formerly homeless adults and families, people impacted by mental illness and substance use disorder, people living with HIV, and community members with low income.
Project Renewal’s multidisciplinary team provides wraparound, on-site services designed to support residents’ health and long-term stability, including case management, occupational therapy, and mental healthcare.
The building’s namesake feature is a 1,500-square-foot rooftop greenhouse and aquaponics urban farming system, which allows residents to grow fresh vegetables year-round and provides them with opportunities for horticultural therapy.
