Unity Towers
In August 2024, Unity Towers — also known as Coney Island I (Site 1B) — located in the Coney Island neighborhood in Brooklyn, was the third NYCHA development to vote to become a Public Housing Preservation Trust site. 192 residents voted, representing 60% of heads of households with 108 voting for the Trust. Their voices were heard, and they had ownership in shaping the future of their homes - now let’s get to work!
Resident Partnerships
The Trust plans on collaborating with residents and stakeholders throughout the duration of the project to ensure that resident voices are heard and included. We want residents to be active collaborators in the various processes like design to vendor selection. The Trust and NYCHA will host meetings near Unity Towers to inform residents and other stakeholders of the project process.
