History
Hamilton House was built in 1919 by Schwartz & Gross as a neo-Renaissance hotel on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
By the early 1970s, it had become a “welfare hotel” before being preserved through community advocacy.
Project FIND later secured the building with support from the City of New York and HUD, transforming it into permanent affordable housing for older adults.
Today, it offers 174 apartments for residents earning under 80% of Area Median Income.
Renovations
In 2005, Project FIND completed a $9.7 million renovation funded by the New York City Housing Development Corporation.
Upgrades included elevators, roofing, windows, lighting systems, and emergency power improvements.
The historic lobby was restored, including Tennessee marble flooring that had been hidden for decades.
Special Features
Residents have access to full-time social workers who assist with care coordination, hospital transitions, and ongoing support.
The building also includes an active Senior Center with programming and community activities through a separate entrance.
