Barrier Free Living works with survivors of domestic violence with disabilities. The new complex will include 75 affordable and supportive apartments for homeless adults needing services and seniors transitioning out of nursing homes.
Gov. Hochul's office funded $6.9 million for the project in July 2022. Funding for related services and rent support will come from the Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative.
Foundation work for the 65,000-square-foot facility started on the site in the summer of 2023.
Workers demolished BFL's previous structure here in 2020.

What, no complaints comments yet?
LOL...I have a complaint. The architecture of this building makes me sad. It breaks the street-wall in two offensive ways: by exposing the side of the building on the left, and by leaning outward on the right side to expose it's own protruding wall. Yuck. Architecture needs to consider the context of the street--I wish that were more of a priority in our fair city. Otherwise, a noble project.
Survivors of domestic violence with disabilities, geez - sounds awful. I'm glad someone is trying to look out for them.
