Home HeadQuarters, the City of Syracuse, community partners, contractors and residents came together to break ground on six (6) new single-family, affordable homes being built on Syracuse’s Southside as part of Syracuse Mayor Walsh’s RNI efforts and as part of NYS’s AHOP Program. All six homes are being built by NYS-certified Minority Owned Business Enterprises and will be available for purchase to income-eligible first-time homebuyers.

The ONAJAVA Coffee House project, with Home HeadQuarters developing the 1600 sq. ft mixed-use historic property that includes two 3-bedroom affordable apartments on the second level, was made possible with support from the City of Syracuse, NYS Empire State Development and the Allyn Family Foundation. The property sits at the entryway to a neighborhood long targeted by Home HeadQuarters with more than $60.4 million in loans and grants provided to families and 117 properties constructed or redeveloped.

Mayor Jared M. Kraham on Monday joined representatives from the First Ward Action Council, Home HeadQuarters and the New York State Division of Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) to announce $5 million in New York State funds to help Binghamton residents complete critical home repair projects.
