PROJECT DESCRIPTION |
The AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust (HIT) is helping finance the $137.4 million construction of the Elizabeth Seton Young Adult Center - a five-story, 110,000-square-foot, 96-bed skilled nursing care facility specifically designed for medically fragile young adults transitioning from pediatric care. The center will provide 24-hour respiratory and medical care, rehabilitation therapies, palliative care, and on-site specialty clinics, among other services. The facility will also offer residents opportunities for social interaction, stimulating activities, physical and expressive movement, and hands-on experiences in technology, the arts, music, life skills, cooking, and gardening.
Elizabeth Seton traces its origins to the Sisters of Charity, who began their mission over 200 years ago and opened The New York Foundling in 1869 to care for abandoned infants. This initiative laid the foundation for Elizabeth Seton Pediatric Center, now a nationally recognized leader in serving children with medical complexity - those with multiple chronic conditions requiring intensive, around-the-clock clinical care. | |
HIT ROLE | The HIT is providing $132.2 million to purchase taxable Ginnie Mae Construction Loan Certificates and a Permanent Loan Certificate. This represents the largest new construction GNMA CLC/PLC in HIT’s history to date. | |
SOCIAL IMPACT | The Elizabeth Seton Young Adult Center seeks to address the “aging out crisis,” which is caused by patient transfers to nursing homes after their pediatric placement ends at age 21. Since 2012, approximately 30% of its former residents who transfer to geriatric nursing homes pass away within one year as these are unsuited to provide the around-the-clock, highly specialized medical and emotional care that the young adults require and deserve. The center will serve as a pioneering facility for young adults who have survived childhood illnesses and reached adulthood. It will be the first facility of its kind in the nation, serving as an international model and research hub for innovative best practices. |

PROJECT PROFILE | Elizabeth Seton Young Adult Center – White Plains, NY | |
“I am proud the HIT is helping to finance the Elizabeth Seton Young Adult Center, a life changing opportunity for young adults to access the specialized medical and emotional support services they need. For decades, Elizabeth Seton hospitals have delivered critical, needs-based pediatric care for New Yorkers while also promoting the creation of union construction jobs and long-term career employment for our AFL-CIO affiliates. HIT’s work with Elizabeth Seton is a prime example of the positive impact these investments have on families and their communities every day.” |
