Work is underway on phase two of the Kingston Housing Authority Redevelopment in Kingston, Ulster County. Designed by Aufgang Architects and developed in a partnership between the Kingston Housing Authority and Mountco Construction and Development Corp., the $112 million project will replace the 32-unit Penn Court development with an 80-unit senior living building. Thirty of the units will be reserved for seniors struggling with homelessness through the Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative. The property is bounded by Penn Court, Colonial Drive, and Flatbush Avenue.

Supportive services will be provided through a partnership between Gateway Hudson Valley and the New York State Department of Health and will focus on maintaining stable housing and independent living. Thirteen apartments will also be dedicated for households with mobility impairments, and six for households with audio and or visual impairments.
The overall Kingston Housing Authority Redevelopment is comprised of 238 public housing units. Phase two of the redevelopment will also include the rehabilitation of 98 family apartments at Colonial Gardens and 60 senior apartments at Wiltwyck Gardens, two buildings constructed during the 1970s. All apartments will be affordable to households earning at or below 100 percent of the area median income (AMI).
The buildings in the redevelopment are all-electric and designed to meet Enterprise Green Communities Plus criteria. The project incorporates sustainable features including rooftop solar arrays, electric vehicle charging stations, and energy-efficient mechanical systems.
The Kingston Housing Authority Redevelopment is part of Governor Hochul’s $25 billion five-year Housing Plan, which is on track to create or preserve 100,000 affordable homes statewide. New York State Homes and Community Renewal has also created or preserved more than 1,400 affordable homes in Ulster County.
State financing includes approximately $35 million in program funding from New York State Homes and Community Renewal, as well as Federal and State Low-Income Housing Tax Credits expected to generate nearly $58 million in equity. Project funding also includes $2 million from the Clean Energy Initiative (CEI), a partnership between HCR and New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Ulster County is providing $700,000 through its Housing Action Grant Program.
Phase one was completed in 2025 with financing from HCR and rehabilitated 120 apartments at Leonard & Vera Van Dyke Apartments. An anticipated completion date for phase two has yet to be announced.
