Brooklyn Housing Facts
Brooklyn has the greatest share of New York City’s population — nearly 2.5 million people, 30 percent of all New Yorkers. One-third of families with children under 5 years of age live below the poverty level. Brooklyn has one of the lowest vacancy rates and one of the highest percentages of households (26.5 percent) that spend more than 50 percent of their income for rent.

Habitat-NYC has completed 87 homes in Brooklyn. Our most recent project was a groundbreaking 41-condominium complex on Atlantic Avenue in Ocean Hill-Brownsville. Dedicated in September, 2009, this is the largest multifamily complex ever built by a U.S. Habitat affiliate. Built to high green standards, this complex earned a LEED Gold certification.
