Golden Hill Apartments is a transformative 164-unit affordable housing development built in Kingston. This cross-generational community is designed to meet the diverse needs of Ulster County residents, with nearly half of the units reserved for seniors aged 62 and older, and 48 apartments set aside for households in need of supportive services. Family of Woodstock will provide onsite services such as case management, crisis intervention, and financial counseling.

The $87 million project was supported by a $10 million award from Governor Hochul’s inaugural Mid-Hudson Momentum Fund, as well as funding from multiple state and federal sources. The development features all-electric buildings designed to meet the highest energy efficiency and green design standards, including a 700-kilowatt rooftop solar system funded through a Department of Environmental Conservation Climate Smart Communities Grant secured by the County. Residents will also benefit from free broadband internet, childcare, a community garden, playgrounds, and a fitness center.

The Golden Hill project will unlock underutilized development potential, acting as a catalyst for meeting the housing goals outlined in the City of Kingston 2025 Comprehensive Plan and the Ulster County Comprehensive Plan as detailed in the 2005 Priority Strategies to Support Housing Development in Ulster County report and create a new neighborhood on the site of the former county jail.
