Over the past year, Dantes Partners has taken on renovations as a part of the NYCHA Permanent Affordability Commitment Together program. Estimated at $166 million in renovations, the project is taking place at New York City’s Audubon Houses, Bethune Gardens and Marshall Plaza.
Through the NYCHA PACT program, buildings receive renovations, upgraded property management and on-site social services. Developments are then included in the federal Rental Assistance Demonstration program, which in turn converts them to Project-Based Section 8. “It’s new interior doors, new windows, new flooring, new fixtures, kitchen appliances, making necessary energy efficient improvements to the overall building. And not to mention introducing security features to make people’s lives within the building a lot safer than what it is already,” said Binitie. “We’re modernizing the elevator system, bringing in new laundry systems into the building and generally just improving the overall conditions of the building board into an experience.
“You go from living in a somewhat inhumane condition to one where it’s a dignified position to be, you come into a home that functions the way it ought to function, right? You’re coming into a home and you’re not having to worry about whether or not you’re not gonna have any heat come in the time,” said Binitie. “It means the world to to finally know that they have a place that they can call a home without worrying about anything.
