Located in Suffolk County, Liberty Station offers supportive apartments for 25 disabled Veterans and 20 disabled adults, as well as 31 households with incomes at or below 50% AMI in six two-story buildings. A one-story community building includes a community room, exercise room, computer room, and staff offices. Concern for Independent Living provides an array of supportive services on site, as well as activities for the benefit of all residents.

Community Impact:
This project provided economic development in the area by creating new permanent jobs within the community.

In addition, the project transformed an overgrown, littered site into attractive, high quality, affordable housing that is enhancing the community.
