Obama administration approves co-op affordable housing deal in Manhattan before Trump takes office

A deal that preserves close to 3,000 units of affordable housing in the heart of Manhattan has been finalized in one of the last acts by the Obama administration, officials said Tuesday.

The federal Office of Management and Budget approved the refinancing agreement at Chelsea’s Penn South co-op, which is home to 2,820 units of affordable housing, Sen. Chuck Schumer said.

The Daily News first reported the federal approval online.

“Penn South tenants can breathe a sigh of relief,” Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a statement.
