CAMBA Housing Ventures (CHV) announced the start of construction on its $237.9 million affordable and supportive housing development, which is part of the state’s $1.4 billion Vital Brooklyn initiative. CHV’s new development, known as Clarkson Estates, will have 328 units of permanently affordable and supportive homes for low-income and formerly homeless populations, including youth aging out of foster care, formerly incarcerated individuals, formerly homeless young adults and formerly homeless families.
Clarkson Estates, located in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, will feature more than 30,000 square feet of community facility space and nearly 15,000 square feet of parking. It will be a Passive House development, which is a voluntary standard for energy efficiency to reduce Clarkson Estate’s ecological footprint, provide superior air quality and reduce energy use and residents’ utility bills.
