Hope+Gardens

Hope Gardens is a public housing complex. It was built in Bushwick and was operated by the New York City Housing Authority. The complex was made up of five seperate complexes, which were made in different locations around Bushwick. Before Hope Gardens was built, there was nothing but broken down buildings taking up space. The buildings that were once there were either abandoned or burned down during the 1977 blackout. Many people believed that building Hope Gardens could help the redevelopment of Bushwick. The creation of Hope Gardens cost a large amount of money but at the end it was all worth it because it helped the development of Bushwick. Also, it was good because more people had a place to live and it was low-costs public housing, which meant it was affordable.
