“My office has been unwavering in its commitment to building as much affordable housing as possible in our district. The grand opening of 778 Myrtle Residences is a testament to what happens when community, non-profits, and government work hand in hand. This development will provide our seniors with safe, high-quality, and affordable homes they truly deserve. Projects like this are how we fight back against the affordability crisis and keep our longtime neighbors here in Bed-Stuy. We are proud to celebrate this milestone with IMPACCT Brooklyn and remain committed to making affordable housing a reality for everyone in our community.” — Chi Ossé, Council Member for New York City's 36th District
