Vista 44
Project Background
Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative (Vista 44 Housing Limited Partnership) has broken ground on a 4-story, 50-unit multifamily apartment building located on the one acre portion of land previously owned by St. Joseph's Church across from Central Park.
Vista 44 will provide rental housing to families who make less than $30,000 a year, will include one, two and three-bedroom apartment units, and individualized on-site support services through Volunteers of America. The tailored and individualized support helps children do better in school, parents increase income, and families improve long-term health.
More information can be found on Beacon's website.
