Officials broke ground Wednesday on a $52 million affordable housing project in Mount Eden.



The 126-unit affordable housing facility is located on East 172nd Street in the Mount Eden section of the Bronx. The project was led by the Community Access organization who provides housing, jobs and job training to New Yorkers with mental health disabilities.



Half of the units will be dedicated to low-income New Yorkers, and the other half will provide New Yorkers who have mental health conditions with a place to live.



The building is expected to be complete in the next 18 months.
