State developers are building affordable housing in Harlem, but leaders say the condos aren't actually affordable for Black New Yorkers.
HARLEM, NY — Thursday brought Harlem leaders out to protest what they say is a lack of true affordability in the neighborhood's newest affordable housing redevelopment, a former prison-turned-condos now dubbed the Seneca.
The redevelopment project would see 105 condos built on the 10,000-square-foot grounds at 31-33 West 110th St., the former Lincoln Correctional Facility, Gov. Kathy Hochul said when she announced the capital project in December 2023.
