New York’s Brooklyn borough (PIX11) \u2014 A city program aimed at assisting low-income New Yorkers in purchasing their first house has made a long-held goal come true for a teacher in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

Amy Hamberry, now 44 years old, had been trying to win a New York City apartment for decades. In December, she received the email she had been anticipating since the previous summer: the chance to buy a house, not just rent one. She and her three kids don’t have to stress about making rent payments anymore.<\/p>\n

In the month of December, Hamberry relocated to her brand-new residence. She has taken the first step in leaving a legacy of money to her offspring. Once upon a time, it appeared impossible to achieve as a classroom educator.<\/p>\n

One of the 17 low-cost houses in Brownsville, East New York, and Ocean Hill is Hamberry’s. Corey Galloway of BCDL Real Estate Development is the builder. He and his two co-developers are members of a minority group in New York.<\/p>\n

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development of the City of New York is responsible for the creation of low-cost housing for sale.<\/p>\n

The program works in tandem with builders, offering them low-interest loans in order to construct on publicly owned land. In return, builders construct low-cost housing units that are distributed using a lottery system in New York City.<\/p>\n

Only individuals who fall within the allowed income range will be eligible to purchase one of the houses. A lot of the selected developers are locals who feel compelled to contribute back to the community.<\/p>\n

Hamberry wishes that her tale would encourage others to keep trying. Nowhere is as comfortable as your own house, she added.<\/p>\n

At the present moment, all East New York units are sold. Housing Link lists additional available properties, including a waterfront co-op in Carroll Gardens, for those looking to become homeowners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
