Edenwald Houses
Established in 1953, Edenwald Houses is one of the oldest and largest public housing developments in New York City, the largest public housing development in the Bronx — and one of the few to be on the National Register of Historic Places.
Affordable Housing
Preserving A Community
In 2020, the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) included Edenwald Houses in the Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) Program to provide building and apartment improvements, and enhanced property management, public safety and social services. NYCHA and Camber worked closely with residents to design every aspect of Edenwald’s transformation.
In Progress
Exteriors
Ongoing renovations include replacing decades-old windows with new, energy-efficient glass and classic bronze aluminum frames — a classic New York finish that better reflects the original 1953 design.
In Progress
Interiors
Inside, kitchens and bathrooms will be renovated. Apartments will be fully painted, new energy efficient lighting will be provided in all rooms, and flooring will be replaced.
In Progress
Outdoors
Outside, public spaces will be reimagined with new planted areas, basketball courts, sitting areas, dog parks, playgrounds, and places set aside for seniors.
Preservation
For The Community
PACT represents a significant opportunity to bolster comfort, security, and pride of place for Edenwald residents — while keeping rents affordable and preserving tenant protections.
