Nehemiah Homes:

A Model for Success

Starting in the early 1980’s, unprecedented city subsidies were invested into the construction of affordable housing, known as Nehemiah homes, on state-owned land. 

Four decades later, this investment has proven successful against the test of time as Nehemiah Homes created helped everyday New Yorkers become homeowners of homes that have increased – creating equity and wealth that can be passed down to the next generation. 

Most recently, Metro IAF NY transformed the Spring Creek area of Brooklyn from an underutilized wetland to a thriving mixed-use community with schools, stores, and over 2,600 homes and apartments where low- and middle-income New Yorkers can afford to live.
