The Fifth Avenue Committee, a Brooklyn affordable-housing nonprofit, is involved in several building renovations throughout Park Slope, Sunset Park and Red Hook that are near completion, and the organization is accepting applications from parties interested in purchasing them.
These buildings are part of the Neighborhood Homes Program, where the city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development conveys city-owned buildings to nonprofits for rehabilitation and sale to homebuyers.
