Stonewall House is the first affordable, LGBTQ-friendly senior housing development in Brooklyn, New York City.[1][2][3] It is the largest LGBT-friendly senior housing facility in the USA.[4][5] Stonewall House was opened in December 2019 by SAGE, an advocacy group for aging LGBTQ people.[6]
The 17 story building contains 146 units, 51 studio apartments and 91 single bedroom apartments.[7][8] The ground floor contains a community center called SAGE Center Brooklyn.[8] The community center is 7000 square feet.[8] The architect was Marvel and the owner is BFC Partners.[9][4]
The Stonewall House provides housing for adults age 62 or older who make less than or equal to half of the area's median income.[8] Residents pay no more than 30 percent of their income for rent, due to the project-based Section 8 contract.[7]
A community center is also run within the building. This community center hosts weekly movies, special events, field trips.[6] The center also provides meals and activities for people over 60.[6]
