Gov. Kathy Hochul announced
the grand opening
of The Corden last month, a
$34.5 million affordable housing
development for families
in the Longwood section of the
Bronx.
The new development includes
62 affordable apartments
with 37 apartments set
aside for homeless families.
Previously named The Bryant,
the building has been dedicated
to Carol Corden, New
Destiny Housing’s former executive
director, who retired
in 2020 after 24 years at the
helm of New Destiny Housing
and a lifetime of service creating
affordable housing for
New Yorkers in need.
“My administration is
committed to ending homelessness
and creating more
affordable housing, and by
investing in developments
like The Corden in the Bronx,
families will have access to
a permanent home with the
amenities and assistance they
need to thrive,” Hochul said.
“These newly built new apartments
will allow 62 families to
experience the great benefi ts
and stability that comes from
having truly good quality
homes, allowing them to live
safely and securely.”
All households will have
access to on-site services including
fi nancial counseling,
professional development,
case management, programming
for children and other
services to promote housing
security. The project’s developer
is New Destiny Housing,
a New York City nonprofi t providing
housing to homeless
families for nearly 30 years.
Amenities at The Corden
include a multi-purpose program
space, library, staff offi
ces for social services, a
beautifully landscaped courtyard
and indoor and outdoor
children’s play areas. Tenants
will have access to trauma-informed,
on-site services from
New Destiny’s Family Support
Program staff.

“Bringing more affordable
housing to The Bronx is not
only important, but will play
a crucial role in our borough’s
recovery from the COVID-19
pandemic,” said Bronx Borough
President Ruben Diaz
Jr. “With the completion of
The Corden, and the addition
of 62 units of affordable housing,
including 37 units for recently
homeless individuals
and families, some of our most
vulnerable Bronxites will
have a place to call home and
access to invaluable services
and amenities that will allow
them to make a fresh start.
This project is a great addition
to the Longwood section
of The Bronx and I commend
everyone who helped make it
possible.”
