The Prince George

This restoration of a large derelict hotel building in New York has provided affordable accommodation for 416 low-income key workers and homeless persons in the city. As well as being recognised as the most affordable way to provide supportive housing, the integral social support system also improves the economic and social self-sufficiency of the residents, enabling them to move on to non-supportive housing. Neighbourhood community regeneration is a key element of the project, which has been widely recognised as a model for the provision of socially, economically and environmentally sustainable supportive housing and has been replicated both nationally and internationally.
