NYCHA is proposing to lease their land to private developers so that they can create '80-20' housing  (80% market-rate and 20% affordable/low-income) that will fill critical budget shortfalls and meet its capital obligations. This is an opportunity for residents and community members to ask questions and express their opinions before NYCHA submits their Request for Proposals (RFPs) for their target properties by the end of the month. If approved, this will impact District 8 residents and community members of Carver, Washington and Douglass Houses, and the surrounding community.  While NYCHA is not privatizing the developments or taking anyone’s apartments away, this is an important community issue, and we encourage all concerned residents to attend this meeting. WASHINGTON HOUSES: This Thursday, March 14, from 6:30 to 9:30 PM, NYCHA will be at the Union Settlement Association's White Community Center (237 East 104th Street, between 2nd & 3rd Avenues) to speak about their infill development proposal for two sites affecting Washington Houses' residents: Southeast Corner of East 99th Street & 3rd Avenue (Parking Lot & Community Center) North Side of East 99th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues (East of El Barrio Artspace PS109) DOUGLASS HOUSES I & II: Next Thursday, March 21, from 6:30 to 9:30 PM, NYCHA will be at the Douglass Community Center/Children's Aid Society (885 Columbus Avenue on 104th Street) to speak about their infill development proposal of three sites affecting Douglass Houses residents: West 104th Street between Amsterdam and Columbus (Parking Lot) West 100th Street between Amsterdam and Columbus (Parking Lot, Garden and Play Area) Manhattan Avenue between West 101st & 102nd Streets (Parking Lot) MMV | March 12, 2013 at 2:26 pm | Tags: Carver Houses, development, Douglass Houses, housing, Infill Development, New York City Housing Authority, NYCHA, Washington Houses | Categories: Blog, East Harlem, Manhattan Valley/West Side | URL: http://wp.me/pJ9TG-23Z Comment    See all comments    Like Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.
