Construction and permanent financing is provided through loans from private institutional lenders and from public sources including HPD. The newly constructed buildings provide homeownership housing to low-income families. The City provides tax exemption for the homes pursuant to Section 696 of the General Municipal law. </p> <p> </p> <p> Under the proposed project, the City will sell the Disposition Area to Nehemiah Spring Creek Affordable Homeownership Housing Development Fund Company, Inc.

A portion of the Land Debt for the homes may be forgiven or unsecured based on the homes’ post-construction appraised value. The Sponsor will then construct up to 56 one-family and 27 two-family homes, containing a total of up to 110 dwelling units, for sale to eligible purchasers.</p> <p> </p> <p> The appraisal and the proposed Land Disposition Agreement are available for public examination at the office of HPD, 100 Gold Street, Room 5-A4, New York, New York on business days during business hours.</p> <p> </p> <p> <strong>PLEASE TAKE NOTICE</strong> that a public hearing will be held on June 22, 2016 at 1 Centre Street, Manhattan, Mezzanine at 10:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be reached on the calendar, at which time and place those wishing to be heard will be given an opportunity to be heard concerning the proposed sale of the Disposition Area pursuant to Section 695(2)(b) of the General Municipal Law and Section 1802(6)(j) of the Charter.</p> <p> </p> <p> Individuals requesting sign language interpreters should contact the Mayor's Office Of Contract Services, Public Hearings Unit, 253 Broadway, Room 915, New York, New York 10007, (212) 788-7490, no later than seven (7) business days prior to the public hearing.
