The Bushwick Houses were built first on April 1, 1960 while the Hylan Houses were built later on June 30 at that same year. [1] The Hylan Houses were named after Mayor John Francis Hylan, who grew up in the Bushwick neighborhood. [4]
Somewhere in the near future[ when? ], the Hylan Houses will have capital renovations after the request of proposals for modernizing as part of the section 8 program of federal funding. [5]
