NEW YORK CITY—The de Blasio administration reports that the city will be moving forward with a mixed-income project on the Lower East Side that will include 88 units of senior affordable housing in response to the Rivington House closure several years ago.

The initiative, announced by Mayor Bill de Blasio, also calls for the funding of 60 skilled nursing beds at the NYC Health + Hospital/Gouverneur.
