What will Columbia do to help people who are living on the site?
There are 135 occupied residential units in the project area (see maps). Columbia has made a commitment to relocate residents of these units to equal or better housing in the area. Residents in the Tenant Interim Lease (TIL) program will retain their “sweat-equity” toward ownership and will have the opportunity to own their units sooner. The University will provide these TIL residents replacement housing, and it will ensure a net 10 percent increase in such affordable units. Columbia will also provide moving and relocation assistance to interested residents. Read more here. Columbia has not and will not request the use of eminent domain with respect to any occupied residential properties. The only properties at issue with respect to eminent domain in Manhattanville are commercial; their current uses are as warehouses and gas stations.
