Borinquen Court

WSFSSH acquired Borinquen Court, a 145-unit HUD-sponsored apartment building in Bronx’s Mott Haven neighborhood, following tenant advocacy amid deteriorating conditions. Recognized by the Tenants’ Association for their dedication, WSFSSH invested in extensive renovations, exceeding HUD standards. Upgrades included new windows, roofs, kitchens, and community spaces, along with improved heating systems and energy efficiency measures. Completed in February 2015, the renovations revitalized the building, ensuring safer, more comfortable living spaces for older residents and those with physical disabilities. Funding from various sources, including the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development and NYSERDA, supported this transformative endeavor.
