Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.
About 2,035 New Housing Units Planned
The Preferred Alternative would build about 2,035 new dwelling units (DUs) in the Fulton Park project. That total explicitly includes the replacement of 209 Section 8 DUs, 351 100-percent affordable DUs at the HPD Site, and between 337 and 505 new permanently-affordable units under Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH).
Existing Tenants Will Be Relocated into New Units
The project would facilitate the direct relocation of tenants in the existing housing units into new housing units and would replace the existing 209 Section 8 dwelling units as part of the redevelopment. The document states relocation of current tenants into new units is an explicit need of the Proposed Action.
Rezoning and MIH Designation Proposed
The Proposed Action would seek rezonings (from R6B to proposed R8X/C2-4, R7D/C2-4, and R6D zones) and an amendment to designate the Project Area as a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) Area to facilitate replacement and creation of permanently-affordable units (the notice cites 337–505 MIH units).
HUD Approval Required to Amend Section 8 HAP Contract
The applicants seek HUD approval to amend the current Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contract that covers the 209 existing units; that amendment is a federal action subject to environmental review. HUD (as Responsible Entity via HPD) must approve the federal action under NEPA and HUD regulations.
Project Area Eligible for FRESH Zone Grocery Incentives
The Project Area is located in a FRESH Zone and is eligible for zoning and discretionary tax incentives through the New York City Industrial Development Agency to support establishment and retention of grocery stores in underserved communities.
No Required Off-Street Parking for New Units
Because the Project Area is in the Inner Transit Zone, the notice states no accessory off-street parking is required for newly developed dwelling units. Developers would not be required to provide parking spaces for new housing in this area.

2026-16228, HUD's Implementation of the Fair Housing Act's Disparate Impact Standard; Amendments to HUD's Title VI Regulations
HUD published a notice of proposed rulemaking in January of 2026 that proposed to remove HUD's disparate-impact regulations and leave interpretation of disparate-impact liability under the Fair Housing Act to the courts. This supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking continues HUD's efforts to remove or revise regulations that prohibit conduct having a disparate impact without evidence of discriminatory intent. Through this rule, HUD is proposing to remove provisions in HUD's Title VI implementing regulations that impose disparate-impact liability on recipients of HUD Federal financial assistance. If finalized, this rule would improve consistency within HUD's own regulations and between HUD's regulations and the Title VI regulations recently revised by the Department of Justice (DOJ). This rule reopens the public comment period of HUD's January 2026 proposed rule on disparate-impact liability; HUD will only consider comments on topics related to this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking during the reopened comment period.
