About This Building

The Community League of the Heights (CLOTH): Preserving and Developing Affordable Housing in Southern Washington Heights About CLOTH: CLOTH, also known as the Community League of the Heights, is a dedicated organization working towards preserving and developing low-income housing options for families and individuals in Southern Washington Heights. Preservation and Rehabilitation: One of CLOTH's primary goals is to rehabilitate existing housing projects, ensuring their longevity and suitability for low-income households. By investing in renovations and necessary upgrades, CLOTH aims to maintain and improve the housing stock for those in need. New Construction Projects: CLOTH doesn't stop at rehabilitation; they actively engage in new construction projects to provide additional affordable housing units for rent. Through their efforts, more opportunities for families and individuals to access affordable housing are made available. Funding and Eligibility: To finance these endeavors, CLOTH utilizes equity raised from Low Income Housing Tax Credits. These tax credits are specifically designed to support low-income households earning less than 60% of the Area Median Income. With this targeted funding, CLOTH ensures that those in the most need can benefit from affordable housing options. Fair Housing Guidelines: All CLOTH projects adhere to the guidelines set forth by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). By following these guidelines, CLOTH ensures that their housing projects are accessible to all, maintaining equity and fairness in the application and allocation process.
