| Short Title: | The Times Square |
| Overview: | Between 1991 and 1994, Common Ground Community HDFC, Inc. transformed The Times Square (hotel) from one of the most dilapidated and infamous commercial SRO's (Single Room Occupancy hotels) in New York City into a model of successful large-scale supportive housing. The hotel now provides permanent single room occupancy units at affordable rents. The Times Square serves a mixed population including formerly homeless individuals, low income adults, and persons in need of social service support. The project combines excellence in design with an innovative model of housing, social services and job training, and has stabilized a key corner in the ongoing revitalization of the Times Square district. |
