Project FIND, Fairstead and the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development celebrated the opening of Park 79 on Thursday, July 20. Specifically, Park 79 boasts 77 beautiful efficiency apartments for low-income and formerly homeless older adults. Project FIND serves as the nonprofit owner and social services provider at the facility. Fairstead has overseen the development and construction of Park 79 and will provide ongoing property management services. Occupants were selected via a housing lottery during the summer of 2022 and as of March 2023 have been moving into the facility. Residents are able to access programming out of our Hamilton Center and Annex located at West 73rd and 71st Streets respectively. Residents are free to avail themselves of an exciting variety of online programming offered by our sites. The transformed facility is located within close proximity to the Hayden Planetarium, the Museum of Natural History and steps away from Central Park. The address for Park 79 is 117 West 79th Street.
