Abandoned Bronx buildings become affordable housing.Borough President Borough President (informally BP, or Beep in slang) is an elective office in each of the five boroughs of New York City. The offices of borough president were created in 1898 with the formation of the City of Greater New York. Carrion, South Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation and other Bronx elected officials hosted a celebration in honor of the rehabilitation of two formerly abandoned buildings in the Morrisania section of the Bronx: 870 Longwood Ave. and 958 Prospect Ave. In keeping with the Borough President's pledge to increase housing options in the South Bronx through the development of housing stock and the rehabilitation of existing properties, SoBRO rehabilitated 870 Longwood Ave. and 958 Prospect Ave. under the City's Department of Housing Preservation and Development Vacant Building 2000 RFP (Request For Proposal) A document that invites a vendor to submit a bid for hardware, software and/or services.

Formerly abandoned, these neighboring five-story buildings contain 16 apartments each, a total of 32 new units for very-low to low-in come residents. The building on Prospect Avenue is now occupied and tenants will move into the Longwood building by September 2004. Tenants were selected utilizing a lottery process. Carrion, whose The Bronx At Work initiative a plan to boost the Bronx economy--includes affordable housing development, said, "More affordable housing availability is vital to the economic revitalization of the Bronx. These units will provide more than just much needed housing for Bronxites. They will further strengthen the economic base and quality of life for the borough. The buildings, which have been vacant for some time, will contribute to a safer and cleaner neighborhood, where businesses can grow and where residents can enjoy the benefits and amenities of a strong and growing community."
