Fox Point is a 48 unit supportive housing building developed and managed by Palladia, Inc., a non-profit behavioral health organization. The building, which is located in the South Bronx, offers housing and on-site social services to low income residents. Fox Point, which was designed by OCV Architects,  was certified LEED Gold by the U.S. Green Building Council in recognition of its environmentally sustainable features,  which include on-site co-generation of energy; use of mold barriers and non-toxic paint and carpets; and water diverting measures. According to Sally Bernstein of Palladia, the building’s greenest feature is its location across the street from a New York City subway station, which encourages the use of public transportation. Fox Point’s environmental sustainability was also recognized with certification by Enterprise Community Partners' Green Communities program.
