Edelman Sultan Knox Wood designed the 118-unit, 82,725-square-foot Bedford Green House as a mixed-use supportive housing project to “encourage socialization and security including accessibility and physical activity.” The architects received loans from public organizations like the Supportive Housing Loan Program of the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Winners of this housing lottery will have access to amenities such as two elevators, a bicycle storage room, laundry room, 24-hour front desk concierge, roof-top terrace, green roof and playground.
