Land's End II

Lands End II, New York City's first Section 8 family project, was developed by Two Bridges Neighborhood Council in partnership with Settlement Housing Fund. Its two 26-story towers, located on Cherry Street between Rutgers Slip and Jefferson Street, include 490 units of low-income housing.

The project, completed in 1979, offered tax benefits to investors in return for providing housing for low-income families. Tenants pay thirty percent of their income toward rent and the federal government pays the balance.
