Dear Neighbor,

I’m proud to announce 313 new affordable apartments on Roosevelt Island open for applications due July 6. As you may have read in Patch ([link removed]) , half of the apartments will go to current residents of Community Board 8 who live between 59th and 96th Streets from 5th Avenue to the East River (and Roosevelt Island).

RSVP ([link removed]) to join me Tuesday, June 30, at 6pm to learn more about these new apartments and how to apply.

In addition, recent reforms to the city's affordable housing system are going into effect in July under a law I authored that you may have read about in the New York Times ([link removed]) . My law will bring hundreds of thousands of existing units back as re-rentals. This summer you can expect to find 2,500 affordable re-rentals with more on the way to increase available affordable housing by as much as 50%.

Over the years I have supported the construction or preservation of more than 1,000 units of affordable housing. Last year, we preserved more than 600 affordable apartments at Roosevelt Landings. In addition we cut the ribbon on 28-units of affordable housing along with a Preschool at 1768 Second Avenue across the street from my office. In 2018, we cut the ribbon on three new affordable housing developments in my district for a total of 49 new apartments, including two supportive housing buildings for the formerly homeless, one of which is for women and children, built across the street from where I live.

Whether we can help you apply for one of these new 313 affordable apartments or connect you with 2,500 new re-rentals coming this summer, I am committed to fighting the affordable housing crisis. Hope to see you tomorrow night!
