In a transformative leap for East New York, Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul today cut the ribbon on Logan Fountain, a $214 million mixed-use housing development that turns a former gas station into a beacon of hope for vulnerable families.

The project introduces 343 new units of affordable, supportive, and transitional housing to Brooklyn’s Cypress Hills neighborhood, part of the city’s bold efforts to tackle the housing crisis head-on.

“Every day, we are working to make New York City more affordable, and our whole-of-government approach is allowing us to partner with Governor Hochul and the state today to deliver over 340 units of affordable and transitional housing,” said Mayor Adams. “This project will provide exactly the type of long-term stability our families need to help them thrive.”

The Logan Fountain complex includes 173 permanent affordable apartments—105 of which are reserved for supportive housing—and 169 units of transitional housing for families with children, alongside a unit for the building superintendent.

The development also features family-friendly amenities like ground-floor retail, a courtyard, play areas, and fitness space.

“It’s simple: the only way to address the housing crisis is to build more housing,” declared Governor Hochul. “New Yorkers deserve a safe, stable and affordable home.”

Logan Fountain aligns with Mayor Adams’ “Best Budget Ever” and vision for the 15/15 Supportive Housing Initiative, which commits $46 million to create and preserve 5,850 units of supportive housing. In total, the city is investing $24.7 billion in affordable housing, the most ambitious 10-year capital plan in its history.

The project reflects a united front across government agencies and nonprofits. Developed by Hudson Companies, with services provided by Jericho Project and HELP USA, Logan Fountain stands as a symbol of how strategic partnerships can create systemic change.

“Logan Fountain stands as the largest project of its kind in New York City — a truly groundbreaking achievement,” said David Kramer, president of Hudson Companies. “Today’s ribbon-cutting marks the transformation of a long-vacant site into a vibrant, mixed-use development.”

The New York City Department of Social Services and Department of Housing Preservation and Development collaborated with New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) to fund and support the project, drawing from federal tax credit programs, state incentives, and city council discretionary capital.

“HCR’s investment in affordable housing will bring benefits to Brooklyn’s Cypress Hills community for generations to come,” noted RuthAnne Visnauskas, HCR Commissioner.

“HELP New Leaf Family Shelter at Logan Fountain is a powerful example of what’s possible when the city and state work in true partnership with nonprofits and private developers,” added Dan Lehman, president and CEO of HELP USA. “Logan Fountain is more than a building — it’s a commitment to dignity, stability, and opportunity for families rebuilding their lives.”

With wraparound services that include mental health care, employment counseling, clinical support, and housing stabilization, Logan Fountain is not just a place to live — it’s a launching pad for new beginnings.

“Through our integrated service model… our experienced staff will help ensure these families have the tools and support necessary to thrive,” said Tori Lyon, CEO of Jericho Project.

The Logan Fountain project is a cornerstone in the East New York Neighborhood Plan and a resounding declaration that sustainable, inclusive housing is not only possible — it’s here.
