Description
Thorpe Family Residence (Thorpe I) and Park Avenue Thorpe (Thorpe II) are both renovated buildings in Community Board 6 of the Bronx. The rehabilitation of these abandoned structures was funded by grants from the New York State Homeless Housing Assistance Program. The Dominican Sisters of Sparkill sponsored these programs. Thorpe I is a transitional residence with services for homeless mothers and children. Thorpe II is permanent supportive housing, serving 34 adults and 52 children. A Pre-K is on site under the direction of the Dominican Sisters of Blauvelt. A playground with a garden on the adjoining lots is a work in progress.
