The resulting stoop is both a gathering space and a\npublic gesture that encourages resident and neighborhood interactions not often\nfound in supportive housing projects. Additionally, two retail units on the\nstreet level generate income that helps subsidize the housing costs while also\nproviding workforce training for residents.
