Governor Hochul Awards $22M To Village Of Great Neck Senior Housing Complex For Renovations

VILLAGE OF GREAT NECK — As part of Governor Kathy Hochul's $25 billion five-year Housing Plan, a Village of Great Neck housing complex has been awarded $22 million in state funds.

The 75-unit Great Neck Senior Housing will undergo renovations, with Glen Cove-based housing developer Georgica Green Ventures and the Village of Great Neck Housing Authority working in tandem.

According to New York State, 74 of the apartments are designated as affordable housing for households earning at or below 50 percent of the Area Median Income, with one unit occupied by a superintendent.

That threshold is about $57,750 for an individual and $66,000 for a two-person household, according to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development income limits for the Nassau-Suffolk metro area.

The median household income in the Village of Great Neck is about $137,981, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Trustee Eli Kashi told Patch the complex was most likely chosen in part due to possible maintenance concerns.

"The senior housing in the Great Neck village is in need of repairs," Kashi said. "I know many of the residents in the building, and they do mention that many areas of the building need to be fixed."

The Village of Great Neck housing complex has previously failed housing inspections, according to Newsday.

Newsday reported that the complex failed inspections in 2022 and 2024 "after inspectors found evidence of roaches and mold," and in a more recent inspection in April 2025, improved its score to 86 out of 100.

Governor Hochul announced on April 10 that nearly $350 million in housing bonds and subsidies were awarded for five housing developments, which in turn are projected to create or maintain 750 affordable apartments.

The broader plan was first announced in 2022 to create or preserve 100,000 affordable units across the state.

A Governor Hochul spokesperson told Patch that this plan is to help expand affordability in NYS.

"Governor Hochul remains committed to supporting local communities in building and preserving housing, especially on Long Island," the spokesperson said. "As the state combats the housing crisis by continuing to build more homes, we also include supportive housing for seniors, who have made countless contributions to our communities, to ensure they have long-term stability in our state."

When Patch reached out for comment, both Georgica Green Ventures and the Village of Great Neck Housing Authority were not immediately available.
