Construction is underway at Homeward Central Harlem, a $22 million LGBTQ-inclusive affordable housing development for LGBTQ young adults in Manhattan.

The nine-story building at 15 West 118th Street in Harlem will feature 50 furnished studio apartments equipped with energy-efficient appliances, low-cost Internet, and on-site social services.
