Hudson Terrace Apartments

Hudson Terrace Apartment was built in 1973 through the HUD Section 236 Mortgage Program. The property has a mix of 168 one, two and three bedroom multifamily units, all of which are covered by a project-based HUD Section 8 rental subsidy contract. Evergreen Partners acquired Hudson Terrace in January 2010 using a combination of FNMA debt financing originated by Wells Fargo, Tax Credit Assistance Program (TCAP) Loan from NY DHCR, and equity raised through the sale of 9% LIHTCs to Wachovia Affordable Housing Community Development Corporation. Evergreen Partners completed substantial interior and exterior renovations at Hudson Terrace beginning in February 2010. With assistance from NYSERDA's Energy Reduction Program, we were also able to convert the inadequate electric baseboard heat to individual gas fired heat and AC systems. As part of our preservation plan for Hudson Terrace, the Section 8 subsidy was be extended to a 20-year term to ensure ongoing affordability at the property.

During the renovation process, Evergreen was able to expand its rehab scope by taking advantage of federal Weatherization funds and state and federal solar energy rebates. A 72 kWh photo voltaic solar array was installed at the property and supplies most of the common area electricity used by the property.
