Barrier Free Living (BFL) along with Urban Builders Collaborative and Lettire Construction held a ribbon cutting event for Freedom Village Supportive Housing program on June 11, 2026.

Located at the intersections of where two city grids collide, that of the East Village and the Lower East Side, the new 65,000 square foot project features a twelve story twisting façade. Freedom Village features 74 accessible apartments and supportive services including supportive counseling, case management, occupational therapy, groups for both adults and families, and community events.

The $54 million project on New York City’s iconic Lower East Side offers the next step in BFL’s 45 year journey of creating ground breaking housing and support for survivors of domestic violence with disabilities. Freedom Village also offers housing to seniors (55+) who are medically fragile.
