New Settlement Apartments
Mount Eden
New Settlement Apartments, in the Mount Eden section of the Bronx, opened in 1990 following the renovation and acquisition of 14 abandoned buildings from the City of New York. Settlement Housing has continued to develop in the community through additional acquisitions and new construction to create 1,140 affordable homes for thousands of New Yorkers, including 30% who had been living in shelters. New Settlement has thrived with programs for young people and families that are found throughout our buildings and include the New Settlement Community Center, the College Access Center and the Parent Action Committee.

Former Cluster Housing
Mount Eden & Fordham Heights
Settlement Housing was selected by the City in 2019 and again in 2021 to assume responsibility for eight buildings in the Bronx that were being used as temporary ‘cluster sites’ for homeless families. These properties were neglected and costing the City substantial fees to be used as transitional housing. Through an innovative acquisition plan, the City is making it possible for Settlement Housing to take ownership, rehabilitate and provide intensive resident engagement services to help formerly homeless household obtain leases and stay permanently housed. We will begin rehabilitation of the first round of properties in 2022.
Apartments will listed on the general Wavecrest vacancy list when available.
